Since January, the US-led Board of Peace has reportedly been working on plans to rebuild Gaza from the ground up — albeit without announcing how exactly it will do that, and what becomes of Palestinians’ private property and their rights of ownership. 

Amid various leaks of the Board’s plans, the UN and multiple rights organizations have repeatedly issued concerns of possible ethnic cleansing, which is illegal under international law.

DW asked human rights experts about the legality of the plans — and spoke with landowners in Gaza, who say they simply want to stay on their land and have their right to self-determination respected.
