Norwegian Refugee Council Critical Of Israel Forced Evacuation

Jan Egeland, the Secretary-General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, has strongly criticized Israel’s order to forcibly evacuate over a million Palestinians from northern Gaza, labeling it as a “war crime.” In an interview with Sky News, Egeland called on Western and Arab countries to exert pressure on Israel to revoke the order, stating that it violates international humanitarian law by forcibly transferring populations without any assurance of their return.
