Former Israeli Prime Ministers Yair Lapid and Ehud Olmert have condemned the current government's initiative to create a 'humanitarian city' on the ruins of Rafah. They argue that this plan could intern Palestinians in a concentration camp. The government intends for this city to initially house 600,000 displaced individuals, eventually accommodating over two million people. Existing satellite images reveal an increase in demolition operations in Rafah, escalating concerns over the humanitarian implications of the proposal.
Lapid criticized the Israeli government's plan for a 'humanitarian city' stating, 'If exiting it is prohibited, then it is a concentration camp.' He added, 'It's a bad idea from every possible perspective: security, political, economic, logistical.'
Olmert unequivocally labeled the proposal a concentration camp, asserting that if Palestinians are deported into this new 'humanitarian city,' it is part of an ethnic cleansing agenda.
