Palestinian Ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot, reiterated his warning on Tuesday about Israel's plan for another "Nahkba" in Gaza, and as proof, he shared video footage showing mass displacement of people in Gaza from north to south.
"Invading Israeli tanks are in #Gaza to force the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homes," Zomlot wrote on X, sharing video footage purportedly belonging to a group of Palestinians forcibly displaced from the northern part of the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Recalling his previous warnings that Israel is planning a second Nakba, the ambassador added: "And the world is still debating whether to call for a #CeasefireForGaza?"
The Nakba, or catastrophe, refers to the exodus of Palestinians from their lands in 1948 when the state of Israel was created.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas a month ago.
At least 10,328 Palestinians have been killed, including 4,237 children and 2,719 women, according to the Health Ministry in the blockaded enclave. Nearly 1,600 Israelis have also been killed in the conflict.
