Israel's defense minister has proposed plans to concentrate a large number of Palestinians into a closed area of the Gaza Strip near the Egyptian border as part of efforts to maintain control over the territory. This strategy arises amidst critiques that such actions may violate international law by forcibly displacing residents of Gaza, which has become increasingly unlivable due to ongoing conflict and blockades. Israeli officials justify this move by asserting it aims to separate civilians from Hamas, while also offering Palestinians the chance to emigrate.
Israel's defense minister outlined plans to concentrate hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in a closed zone of the Gaza Strip along the border with Egypt. Critics argue this could lead to forcible displacement, violating international law, as Gaza has become largely uninhabitable due to the offensive and blockade. Israeli officials claim the aim is to segregate civilians from Hamas, which continues to exert control in parts of Gaza.
Palestinians may be given the option to emigrate as part of the Israeli government's plans, which have been interpreted by some as an effort to maintain long-term control over the territory and its population. President Trump has expressed support for relocating Palestinians out of Gaza, aligning with proposals aimed at ending the conflict.
