US-backed aid group proposed 'Humanitarian Transit Areas' for Palestinians in Gaza

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 9 – Israel Katz proposes relocating 600,000 displaced Palestinians to a planned camp on Rafah ruins as part of broader efforts to control Gaza’s population and facilitate resettlement, officials say.

  • Israel's defense minister Israel Katz presented a plan on Monday to establish a 'humanitarian city' for 600,000 displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza on the ruins of Rafah.
  • This plan, emerging amid ongoing ceasefire talks with Hamas, aims to relocate Gaza's population temporarily, but critics warn it involves forced displacement with no real voluntary choice.
  • The proposal describes large camps run by international organizations with the IDF controlling the perimeter, intending eventual relocation outside Gaza, while no countries have yet agreed to receive refugees.
  • Human rights lawyer Michael Sfard called the plan a crime against humanity, noting forced mass transfers can constitute war crimes, while Netanyahu framed relocation as voluntary and praised President Trump's vision.
  • The plan has sparked alarm over potential suffering and ethnic cleansing accusations, with life for Gazans described as grim and the prospect for a deal on cessation and population transfer remaining uncertain.
