Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Monday he has instructed the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to kick off a plan to establish a so-called "humanitarian city" in southern Gaza where people will be screened to allowed entry and won't be able to leave.
Times of Israel reported Emanuel Fabian detailed that the idea is to initially bring some 600,000 Palestinians and ensure no Hamas operatives enter the area. Katz added that the idea is for the entire Gaza population to be eventually brought to the area, which will be guarded from a distance by the IDF.
