A NGO statement explained that the Israeli plan to relocate the territory’s residents to a “humanitarian zone” represents a dangerous escalation of the ongoing genocide.

The project envisages the relocation of some 600,000 Palestinians after subjecting them to “security checkpoints,” imposing strict restrictions on their movements, and prohibiting them from leaving for other areas, the organization underscored.

It warned that it is a deliberate move to empty Gaza and impose a new demographic reality by force.

The Euro-Med Monitor recalled the Israeli government’s proposal to promote “voluntary migration” of Palestinians as part of an external displacement policy.
