La declaración de Trump de q los palestinos “no tienen otra alternativa en este momento” que abandonar su patria, junto con su sugerencia de “encontrar el terreno adecuado” para reasentarlos, es una declaración de desplazamiento forzado y constituye una flagrante violación del derecho internacional.
