CNN —Israel has overseen the forced mass displacement of Palestinians in Gaza in a deliberate and systematic campaign that amounts to a war crime and a crime against humanity, according to a new Human Rights Watch report.
Several Israeli ministers, however, have said they would like to see Palestinians leave Gaza and reestablish Israeli settlements there.
And far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who also holds a position in the Defense Ministry, has said Israel “will rule (in Gaza).
Human Rights Watch said the Israeli campaign in northern Gaza would likely lead to the displacement of hundreds of thousands more civilians.
It also called on the International Criminal Court to investigate the alleged forced displacement of Palestinians as a crime against humanity.
