  • 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.

  • 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.
