Israel levelling thousands of Gaza civilian buildings in controlled demolitions

GAZA, JUL 18 – The plan would relocate over 2 million Palestinians into a controlled camp in Rafah, described by experts as forced displacement and potential war crimes under international law.

  • In southern Gaza, Rafah’s ruins will become a fenced `humanitarian city` for 600,000 Palestinians, with Israeli forces securing the perimeter, as reported in Haaretz.
  • Reuters reported that plans for “humanitarian transit areas” were pitched to the Trump administration as a $2 billion proposal, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation denied it, and US President Donald Trump’s call to “clean out” Gaza has emboldened Israeli leaders.
  • Amid international condemnation, the UN warned deporting civilians is `tantamount to ethnic cleansing`, Amnesty International cautioned it would be unlawful transfer, and 16 Israeli scholars flagged it as a potential war crime.
  • Channel 12 reported that unnamed security officials called it a `gigantic tent city`, and Michael Sfard said ` laid out an operational plan for a crime against humanity`.
  • Ahead of a ceasefire, Katz said work on the camp could begin during a 60-day pause, he added Netanyahu is seeking countries to `take in` Palestinians, and international bodies will manage the zone.
