Netanyahu Says the Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza Is 'Inevitable' - News From Antiwar.com
- On May 5, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his government’s decision to escalate the conflict and re-establish long-term control over Gaza, planning to relocate its 2.1 million residents to a designated humanitarian zone covering less than a quarter of the territory.

- The proposed displacement would confine Gazans to less than a quarter of Gaza's territory in militarized zones, leading to near-famine conditions, healthcare breakdown, and multiple displacements already experienced.

- The plan has been rejected by UN agencies and NGOs, complicates Israeli security, stalls the Israel-Saudi normalization deal, and may further hinder prospects for a two-state solution.
