Israel and the US-led Board of Peace are planning to transfer Palestinians in Gaza into so-called “humanitarian shelters,” in order to “disconnect” the strip’s population “from Hamas” while Israeli forces solidify and expand their occupation, Israeli media reported on 30 June.

The Board of Peace plan, referred to as a “pilot program” by Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, will reportedly begin in the coming weeks.

Information obtained by the outlet said the first area where Palestinian civilians will be forced into will be in Tal al-Sultan near the city of Rafah, which was obliterated during Israel’s genocide.

They must have “no weapons or affiliation with Hamas,” the report says.

“Multinational forces under Board of Peace management will arrive … and will be based at a facility built for them at Camp Amitai. They are expected to be equipped with nonlethal weapons to maintain order in the humanitarian zones, while [Israel] will continue to hold its positions and deepen its grip on areas beyond the yellow line,” it added.

Camp Amitai is an Israeli military facility near the besieged strip.
