In a desperate attempt to evict Palestinians from Gaza, the controversial Israel-US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has proposed building camps inside, and possibly outside, the besieged strip to temporarily shelter the population.
Media outlets quoting sources reported that the $2-billion plan was submitted to US President Donald Trump's administration and recently discussed in the White House.
The plan created after February 11 describes "large-scale" sites where the Palestinian population in the blockaded Palestinian territory could "temporarily reside, deradicalize, re-integrate and prepare to relocate if they wish to do so."
A slide deck goes into detail about these camps and how they would be used to "gain trust with the local population" and facilitate Trump's "vision for Gaza".
The slide presentation said that the GHF was "working to secure" over $2 billion for the project.
The US-Israeli backed organization is now set to "build, secure and oversee large-scale so-called Humanitarian Transit Areas (HTAs) inside and potentially outside Gaza Strip for the population to reside while Gaza is demilitarized and rebuilt".
In February, Trump said the US should "take over" Gaza and rebuild it as the "Riviera of the Middle East", after ethnically cleansing the population outside of the besieged territory.
Benjamin Netanyahu says he is "committed" to Trump's controversial proposal to take over the Gaza Strip and displace its Palestinian residents.
Legal experts say the vicious scheme would violate international law and amount to ethnic cleansing.
The aid plan has also been widely criticized for its unfair and inadequate distribution system.
Analysts, activists, and aid agencies have described the plan as a "mockery" of humanitarian law.
International aid agencies have already warned that Israeli plans to control aid distribution in Gaza, including the US-backed proposal, will only add to the suffering in the devastated Palestinian territory.
Rights groups and Palestinian officials have condemned such forced displacement orders as collective punishment and part of Israel's ongoing genocidal war on Gaza.
Virtually 90% of the population of the Gaza Strip has been displaced at least once since October 2023, when Israel launched its aggression against Gaza.
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has time and again said the newly established aid distribution sites run by the GHF have become "death traps" for starving civilians and a displacement tool.
