Peacekeeper Details Risk of "Uncontrollable Influx of Emigrants"

A United Nations official has issued a stark warning that expanding Israel's operations in Gaza would risk "catastrophic consequences" and a potential flood of refugees. In an interview with the LEADE, Peacekeeping and Political Affairs Representative Michael Slone highlighted the potential for a fresh wave of emigration from the Palestinian territory should violence escalate.

Slone, who specializes in Middle East peace processes, migration patterns, and refugee crises, emphasized the region's vulnerability to population upheaval.
