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

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 9 – Trump's plan involves relocating Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians and establishing US control to address security concerns, sparking widespread criticism and fears of forced displacement.

  • Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed plans to establish a 'humanitarian city' camp on the remains of Rafah in southern Gaza, designed initially to accommodate as many as 600,000 displaced Palestinians.
  • The plan, first floated by President Trump and supported by Netanyahu, aims to concentrate Gaza's 2.1 million population and ultimately force emigration to other countries.
  • The camp would be managed by international bodies inside while the Israeli military controls security outside to prevent residents from leaving, with Palestinians screened for Hamas affiliation.
  • Human rights lawyer Michael Sfard said Katz's plan equates to forcible transfer potentially amounting to war crimes, while international bodies universally condemn forced displacement in conflicts.
  • The proposal sparked wide opposition, including from Qatar, the UAE, the UK, and Hamas, warning it risks ethnic cleansing and worsening Gaza's humanitarian crisis amid fragile ceasefire talks.
