UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has made it clear that he opposes any forcible transfer of population, including in the Gaza Strip, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN secretary-general, said at a press conference on Wednesday.

Haq made the remarks after U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that he did not think the Palestinian people whom he wanted to drive out of Gaza should return to the enclave once the reconstruction there has been completed.
