Israel's former prime minister, Ehud Olmert, condemned the proposed humanitarian city on the ruins of Rafah as a concentration camp, equating it to ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. He stated that the camp would force Palestinians inside, restricting their freedom of movement. Olmert described current Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank as war crimes and indicated that the project marks an escalation. Despite asking for the humanitarian project to protect Palestinians, Olmert found these claims lacking credibility in light of recent violent rhetoric from Israeli ministers.
