Israel has proposed creating US-funded tent cities in Gaza as part of an evacuation plan for Rafah as Israeli forces are preparing to invade the city, Egyptian officials told The Wall Street Journal.
It’s estimated that 1.5 million Palestinians are packed into Rafah, which had a pre-war population of about 275,000. Under the Israeli proposal, 15 campsites of around 25,000 tents each would be created along Gaza’s coast to house the millions of Palestinian civilians sheltering in Rafah.
The Egyptian officials said Egypt would be responsible for establishing the campsites and that the US and its Arab partners are expected to pay for the tent cities. When asked about the proposal, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel that several options were being discussed related to evacuating Rafah, none of which have been approved so far.
The UN has said it will “not be a party” to the further displacement of Palestinians or any evacuation plans from Rafah because there is nowhere safe for the Palestinians to go. Throughout the Israeli onslaught, Israeli forces have bombed and shot people in areas deemed “safe zones.”
A document prepared by Israel’s Intelligence Ministry that was leaked back in October said the best-case scenario for Israel would be to expel all 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza into Egypt, which borders Rafah. Israeli government ministers have not been shy about their desire to ethnically cleanse Gaza, but Egypt is holding firm on its position that it won’t allow an influx of refugees into its territory.
President Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday that he shouldn’t attack Rafah without a plan for the civilians, but the US is applying no real pressure as it continues to provide unconditional military aid. A few hours after the two leaders spoke, Israel unleashed heavy airstrikes on Rafah, killing around 100, as part of an operation where Israel said it rescued two Israeli hostages.
So the US is made to pay for the bombs, ammunitions, missiles , tanks, jet fighters , uniforms, and other things that used to kill the Palestinians, rain destructions and misery upon them and drive them out of their homes and land then the US is asked to put those who survived the genocide into tents.
Precisely what Norman Finkelstein predicted when he was interviewed by Chris Hedges back in October, 2023. The world sees what monsters the Zionist Fascists are in Israel. The sad thing is 94% of the Jewish population is all in on the ethnic cleansing, killing and maiming of Palestinian children, pure genocide. Sadder is the world does nothing to stop it. So it goes.
US wanted a plan and got their freaking fake plan…!
That’s what you get when you have an AHole for president.
Sure, why not. I mean, we can’t expect Israel to do all the work. They’ll take care of making the conditions necessary for these tent cities, but they certainly can’t be expected to foot the bill for them. Now quit the bickering and get that 14-billion-dollar check in the mail. They have Palestinians to slaughter so they can save the US some money on the number of tents they’ll need to purchase.
Israel has an AA credit rating and can borrow all the money it needs. Leave US taxpayers alone. Maybe any US politician that votes for foreign aid while the USA is in debt is a traitor?
We will pay for the rebuilding of Gaza. Israeli firms will get the contracts. There will be beautiful beach resorts, shining new homes in Gaza, and in the West Bank. Just so wonderfully wonderful. Palestinians? Who were they? Why were they on the lands that a book told another people the land was theirs? So it goes.
Did Jeff Epstein have anything to do with all these?
“…..U.S. funded tent cities.” The U.S. funds everything.
