Israeli Plan To Move Gazans Into Closed Zone Triggers Backlash
GAZA STRIP, JUL 14 – Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz plans to relocate 600,000 Palestinians to a controlled camp in Rafah, a move critics call ethnic cleansing and a violation of international law.
- Last week, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced plans to concentrate Gaza’s entire civilian population into a camp in Rafah, raising international law concerns.
- Since Oct. 7, 2023, Israel's offensive has killed nearly 57,800 Palestinians, most women and children, highlighting the war's devastation in Gaza.
- According to Haaretz, before entry, Israel Katz proposed moving 600,000 Palestinians from al-Mawasi into a `humanitarian city`, with mandatory `screenings` to exclude Hamas operatives.
- Human rights advocates immediately condemned Katz's proposal as a well-organised plan for a crime against humanity, while Chowns said she was horrified.
- The UN warned that forcible transfer of occupied territory’s civilian population is strictly prohibited and 'tantamount to ethnic cleansing'- a violation of international law.
