There is no set definition of "ethnic cleansing" in legal terminology. The closest we have is something similar to this definition, "a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas." (Interim Report of the Commission of Experts Established Pursuant to Security Council Resolution 780; re: Yugoslavia 1992).Is evacuating "palestinians" to save their lives from jihadi regime using them as human shields, now "ethnic cleansing"?
Just asking.
The answer to your question, in my opinion, would depend on the purpose and the permanency of the removal.
