South Korea's Foreign Minister reinforces backing for the 'two-state solution' during a conversation with the Palestinian Foreign Minister.

South Korean Foreign Minister announces continued backing for a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a conversation with his Palestinian counterpart.

In the heart of the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, a significant displacement of Palestinians occurred on September 1. The United Nations (UN) reported that around 90% of the Gaza population, or approximately 1.9 million people, have been displaced since the start of the conflict.

The displacement in the northern Gaza Strip was documented by the EPA and YONHAP. According to reports, Palestinians were seen fleeing along Al-Rasheed Street, west of Gaza City, with their belongings.

Israel has planned to mobilize 60,000 reservists for an expanded Gaza City operation, which could potentially exacerbate the displacement crisis. This move comes amidst reports of at least 31 people being killed in strikes across Gaza.

Tragically, the conflict has claimed the lives of not only civilians but also journalists. An AP freelancer and multiple journalists were killed by Israeli strikes on a Gaza hospital.

The displacement of Palestinians is a matter of global concern, with international scholars accusing the Israeli army of genocide. Prominent figures like Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein have expressed strong condemnation of Israeli military actions in Palestine.

In a hopeful development, Hamas has accepted an Arab cease-fire proposal, following the death of over 62,000 Palestinians in the ongoing conflict. However, the cease-fire has yet to take effect, and the displacement of Palestinians continues.

The situation in Gaza remains tense, and the international community is urged to intervene to protect the displaced Palestinians and bring an end to the conflict.
