      I don’t think it’s a new agency’s job to make such claims, but they have reported on people calling it that

      The UN Secretary General’s spokesperson Stephane Dujarric has just previewed remarks that we are expecting this afternoon from Antonio Guterres, in response to President Donald Trump’s shocking plan for the US to take over Gaza.

      On Gaza, Guterres will say that it is “vital to stay true to the bedrock of international law” and “essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing”.

      Since Trump made his controversial Gaza remarks yesterday, some Democrats have taken to social media to condemn his comments.

      Many have accused the Republican president of “promoting ethnic cleaning” for saying Palestinians should leave Gaza and settle elsewhere.

      “It is horrific,” Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told reporters, adding: “It is part of the culmination of what I view to be genocide of the Palestinian people.”

      Can’t say I see anything wrong with BBC’s actions here tbh.
