Vatican condemns Trump’s plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza

The Vatican’s secretary of state, Pietro Parolin, has criticised US President Donald Trump’s proposal to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza.

“The Palestinian population must remain on its land,” Parolin stated at the Italy-Vatican summit, according to ANSA news agency.

“This is one of the fundamental points of the Holy See: no deportations,” he added, reaffirming the Vatican’s opposition to forced displacement.
