Israel said it is not true that they are trying to make a lot of people from Gaza go to Egypt, as the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has claimed.
An article in the Los Angeles Times written by someone expressing their thoughts.
UNRWA boss Philippe Lazzarini said the Israeli military told people in north Gaza to move south, and then fighting forced them even closer to the border with Egypt.
Lazzarini said that if things kept going this way, Palestinians might not be able to live in Gaza anymore.
Israel denies the accusation and says it is not true. A person from the defence ministry told the AFP news agency that Israel does not have a plan to move the people from Gaza to Egypt.
Israel said that Jordan’s claim is not true. The Reuters news agency says that an official denied the claim that they had a plan to force Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip.
