Israel presses ahead with Gaza concentration camp' plans despite criticism
Briefly

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz proposed a plan to build a controlled area for 600,000 Palestinians in Gaza, which would ultimately accommodate all 2.2 million pre-war residents. This area would be managed by international forces and exclude Hamas. Palestinians would be restricted from leaving, and encouraged to emigrate abroad instead. The plan has faced significant criticism, being labeled as a concentration camp and unworkable by military officials. Several international leaders and organizations, including the United Nations, have condemned the proposal, while some Israeli officials have defended it amid ongoing debate within the government.
