The International Organization for Migration (IOM) stated in a statement that it will not participate in "any form of forced relocation of Palestinians from the Gaza sector." IOM's Director General, Amy Pope, emphasized that any such evacuation will become a "red line" for the governments of the region. This statement followed President Donald Trump's proposal to take control of his country's destroyed sector of Gaza and resettle more than two million Palestinians in other places. "We are committed to communities that receive our services, that we will not participate in any form of forced relocation of populations or evacuation of people," Pope said, who is a U.S. citizen. Trump's proposal to restore the Gaza sector and its transformation into "Rivera of the Near East" provoked controversy.
