The UK government would oppose any effort to move Palestinians in Gaza to neighbouring Arab states against their will, a Foreign Office minister has said after Donald Trump claimed the US would take over the territory.

“There must be no forced displacement of Palestinians nor any reduction in the territory of the Gaza Strip.”. It comes after the US president said his nation would have “a long-term ownership position” and turn what he called a “hell hole” into “the Riviera of the Middle East”.
