Israel's 'Humanitarian City' in Gaza – Heated Debate but No Real Plan
CAIRO GOVERNORATE, EGYPT, JUL 16 – Israel plans to relocate up to 600,000 Palestinians to a secured zone in Rafah, sparking opposition from Egypt over security and humanitarian concerns amid ongoing ceasefire talks.
- Israeli officials have proposed creating a 'humanitarian city' in Rafah to house around 600,000 displaced Palestinians amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
- This plan emerges amid coalition instability, political pressure from far-right allies, and the broader context of Gaza's extensive destruction and displacement.
- The proposal lacks concrete logistics, faces rejection from Egypt, and coincides with militarized control of Gaza and deteriorating humanitarian conditions.
- An IDF officer stated, "The Palestinians learn through blood," while UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric affirmed opposition to forced civilian displacements in Gaza.
- If implemented, the plan could lead to long-term confinement of Palestinians in a fenced area and increase regional tensions surrounding Gaza's future.
