Israel Katz said the plan, set for a proposed 60-day cease-fire, would relocate 600,000 Palestinians after security checks and bar them from leaving. (...)
Defense Minister Israel Katz said Monday that he has instructed the IDF to prepare a plan to establish a "humanitarian city" on the ruins of Rafah, which would eventually house the entire population of the Gaza Strip.
According to Katz, the plan involves moving 600,000 Palestinians, primarily from the al-Muwasi area, into the new zone after security screening. Once inside, residents would not be allowed to leave, the defense minister said. (...)
In a briefing with reporters, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel aims to weaken Hamas by targeting its leadership, seizing territory, demilitarizing the Gaza Strip – and implementing what he called "the emigration plan, which will happen." He added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is already leading efforts to explore countries willing to absorb Gazans.
However, an official familiar with the details told Haaretz that Israel does not expect the population transfer plan to proceed, and is not preparing to facilitate Palestinian emigration from Gaza. Israel has approached several countries to receive Palestinian refugees; however, according to the source, no state agreed to the plan.
Interesting how the word 'humanitarian' is now used rather freely.
Oh the irony of them calling Gazans "Nazis" as they do this.
I've had multiple people say the gazans deserve this because they "started" the war . Okay, so why don't we just exterminate every Japanese after WW2? Along with every single German?
Of course what they say makes no sense. Neither side is based on logic or empathy. It's just ego and self-gratification.
Because Japan offered their unconditional surrender. Until that point the United States was planning to invade Japan, with both sides expecting half the Japanese population to be wiped out by combat and starvation.
