Israeli defense minister shares plan to move Palestinians to closed camp

GAZA STRIP, JUL 8 – The camp will initially house 600,000 Palestinians and aims to encourage voluntary emigration amid ongoing political and humanitarian concerns, officials said.

  • In a briefing on Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the IDF to prepare plans for a closed camp in Rafah to house all Gaza Palestinians, aiming to facilitate emigration.
  • In February, far-right Israeli ministers proposed relocating Gaza residents abroad, leading to Katz's recent instruction to draw up plans for a large-scale camp over Rafah.
  • Rights groups and lawyers say Israel’s plan violates international law, with Sfard calling it a ‘blueprint for crimes against humanity’ and condemning its forced displacement nature.
  • More broadly, Israel's plan aims to solidify control over Gaza and separate civilians from Hamas, reflecting long-term demographic and strategic objectives.
