Israel's defense minister proposes relocating hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza to a closed zone near the Egyptian border, creating a 'humanitarian city' in Rafah. This plan, supported by US President Trump, aims to separate civilians from Hamas. Critics condemn it as forced displacement, violating international law. Palestinians would reportedly be unable to leave this zone, and Israel seeks an international body to manage aid. The plan faces strong opposition from Palestinian groups and human rights organizations who view it as a mass expulsion.
