The UN human rights office on Friday condemned an Israeli minister’s call to displace people from the West Bank, saying these statements only serve to escalate an already “very dire situation.”?
“On these statements that have been made by some officials that may amount to incitement to commit human rights violations, we roundly condemn these statements,” spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani told a UN briefing in Geneva in response to Anadolu’s question.
On Wednesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz called for applying Gaza-style measures in the northern West Bank, including temporary evacuations of Palestinians, amid a major military operation in the area, the largest in two decades.
“These can only serve to escalate an already very dire situation,” Shamdasani said.
She said that the office is “extremely concerned” about the “catastrophic” situation.
