-Plan involves moving 600,000 people to Rafah near Egypt -Netanyahu asks for new blueprints -Far-right minister dismisses debate as ‘spin’ -Finance Minister says defence officials trying to sabotage plan

    So… this is for Gazans who “do not want to live under Hamas”, but they wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

    It seems to me like Israel is creating a concentration camp and will declare that anyone outside of it is Hamas and they can kill them all with impunity.

      My first thought was that this was arranging to put fish in a barrel, to allude to a certain metaphor, but then I realised that it was more likely the other way around and it’s a concentration camp, and your comment was already here.

      And then I remembered how camps usually go and that it would be both at the same time.
