Arab League says Palestinian displacement would be 'ethnic cleansing'
The Arab League on Sunday warned against "attempts to uproot the Palestinian people from their land", after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested a plan to "clean out" the Gaza Strip and move its population to Egypt and Jordan.
"The forced displacement and eviction of people from their land can only be called ethnic cleansing," the regional bloc's general secretariat said in a statement.

Media Center Director Salem Zahran to LBCI: Israel seeking to escalate attacks on South Lebanon
Media Center Director Salem Zahran expressed concern that Israel is likely to intensify its attacks on South Lebanon, arguing that it aims to keep Lebanon involved in any broader conflict. In an interview with LBCI, Zahran said, "When Israel announces several losses, multiply it by nine." He described the ongoing war between Iran and Israel as existential and predicted internal shifts within Iranian society as a result. Zahran also noted that with each passing day and the rise in oil prices, Iran is managing to offset its financial losses caused by the war. He added that former U.S. President Donald Trump's team is closer to Israel than previous administrations and emphasized that decision-making in Israel is influenced by more than just the president.

Sayyed Houthi: Israeli Aggression on Iran Comes in Context of Targeting Its Model of Independence
Head of Yemen's Ansarullah Movement Sayyed Abdul Malik Badreddine Al-Houthi indicated that the Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran came within a broader Western effort that views Iran as an independent model supportive for the Palestinian cause. In a televised speech on the occasion of the Day of Wilaya, Sayyed Houthi said that the Israeli enemy, backed by the West, sees the Islamic Republic of Iran as a nation building a civilizational renaissance and an Islamic power. 'The Israeli, American, British, and their allies do not want any independent state among Muslims that does not submit to their authority. The Israeli enemy is criminal and audacious in committing such a heinous crime—an enemy with absolutely no justification for its aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.' All the fabrications, pretexts, and excuses promoted by the Israeli enemy are utterly absurd. he said, highlighting the positions of Arab and Islamic countries united in condemning the Israeli aggression against Iran, as a good and positive development. In its aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Israeli enemy violates the airspace of Arab countries without concern, Sayyed Houthi underlined, adding that the Ummah must restore the equation of deterrence against the Israeli enemy, rather than accepting the equation of unchecked aggression. 'The American, British, French, and the Western community in general seek only to contain the Iranian response. If the West fails to contain Iran's response through political pressure and other means, their direction will be to cooperate with the enemy to confront Iran's retaliation.' We in Yemen support the Iranian response and are partners in this stance with everything we can offer, Sayyed Houthi said, extending condolences to the Iranian leadership and people, and congratulations on martyrdom of a number of officials, experts and citizens. Sayyed Houthi affirmed that any Islamic country that engages in a confrontation with the Israeli enemy must be supported, as that is the true responsibility and interest of the Ummah. 'We continue to support Gaza, stand by the Palestinian people, and remain engaged in an open war with the Israeli enemy. Our stance is firm and ongoing as part of our jihadi duties in the path of Allah Almighty.' Iranian Armed Forces shot down Israeli drones on Saturday as the Zionist entity goes on with its aggression on the Islamic Republic for the second day.
