DaysofPal- The Israeli occupation has introduced a new strategy for Gaza that experts say could escalate ethnic cleansing and contribute to acts of genocide.
According to analysts cited by Al Jazeera, the Israeli far-right government has approved a plan aimed at restructuring Gaza’s population and forcibly displacing its residents.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented the initiative as part of efforts to eliminate Hamas and rescue approximately 24 Israeli prisoners captured on October 7, 2023. He justified the campaign in Gaza as a necessary operation, adding that population relocation would be part of efforts to “protect” civilians.
What does the plan involve?
The plan entails the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from northern Gaza into six designated camps.
The Israeli occupation claims that food will be supplied in these encampments, with aid distribution handled by humanitarian groups and private security firms. However, residents will be compelled to relocate under threat of starvation.
Reports from The Washington Post indicate that each camp will house between 5,000 and 6,000 families. Each family will have to send someone to walk long distances weekly to collect food packages from what Jan Egeland of the Norwegian Refugee Council referred to as “concentration hubs.”
