Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated on the 7th that he has instructed the Israeli military to formulate a plan to build a 'humanitarian city' in the Gaza Strip to centrally accommodate all residents of Gaza.
On the 7th, Katz said that this 'humanitarian city' will be built on the ruins of the southern Gaza city of Rafah and will be managed by international organizations, with the Israeli military providing security assurance for the area’s perimeter. All civilians in the Gaza Strip who pass security checks will be accommodated in the 'humanitarian city,' and once they enter, they will not be allowed to leave.
Encouraging Palestinians to 'voluntarily emigrate' to other countries
Katz also stated that he encourages all Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to 'voluntarily emigrate' to other countries.
According to a Reuters report on the 7th, earlier this year, the privately-run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, supported by the United States and Israel, drew up a plan involving the construction of large camps in Gaza to centrally accommodate Palestinians. This plan would cost $2 billion, and has already been submitted to the U.S. government. Sources say that the U.S. government has discussed this plan in recent times.
