A Foreign Office minister has said the UK would “oppose” Donald Trump’s proposal for Palestinians to leave Gaza.

Anneliese Dodds told MPs on Thursday morning: “We would oppose any effort to move Palestinians in Gaza to neighbouring Arab states against their will.

“There must be no forced displacement of Palestinians, nor any reduction in the territory of the Gaza Strip.”
