France says forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza would be 'unacceptable'

France on Tuesday said any forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza would be "unacceptable" after US President Donald Trump proposed moving them to Egypt and Jordan.

"Any forced displacement of the population in Gaza would be unacceptable," a French foreign ministry spokesman said when asked about Trump's comments.

"It would not only be a serious violation of international law, but also a major hindrance to the two-state solution," the spokesman said, referring to calls for Israeli and Palestinian states living side-by-side.

It would also be a "destabilisation factor (for) our close allies Egypt and Jordan".
