Excerpt: In July 2025, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced a new plan to forcibly displace, contain, immobilize, and ultimately expel Gaza’s Palestinians. The plan, which followed numerous ethnic cleansing schemes for Gaza from both Israel and the US, proposed that the Israeli army would establish a so-called “humanitarian city” on the ruins of Rafah, a city largely obliterated by 21 months of genocidal warfare (ongoing at the time of writing). According to Katz, the army would then “move” 600,000 Palestinians into the encampment, with the eventual aim of enclosing the Strip’s entire population therein. Once inside, the Palestinians would not be allowed to leave the camp, which would be surrounded and guarded by the military, except to emigrate from Palestine permanently.
