Exclusive: UN commissioner says Trump's Gaza plan breaches international law
UN Commissioner Navi Pillay has criticised US President Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza plan for its exclusion of Palestinians from transitional governance, and said a ceasefire proposal does not alter the UN's finding that Israel is responsible for genocide.
Last week, Trump unveiled the controversial "peace" plan alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which gives general precedence to Israel's framing of the situation in Gaza and Israel's stated security concerns.
The plan, which has been widely criticised as "colonial thinking", proposes that Trump will serve alongside former British Prime Minister Tony Blair on a transitional committee that will oversee the strip.
In a wide-ranging interview with Middle East Eye on Monday, Pillay, an eminent South African judge who chairs the UN commission of inquiry that concluded Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, said that "the conclusion of the commission still stands."
