Israel admitted that one of its ministries had formulated a proposal to transfer the 2.3 million residents of the Gaza Strip to the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula, which the Egyptian government strongly confronted and stressed its refusal to displace Palestinians from their lands.
The document proposes transferring the civilian population in Gaza to a tent city in North Sinai, then building permanent cities, and establishing a security zone inside Israel to prevent displaced Palestinians from entering. The report did not mention what would happen to Gaza once it is evacuated of residents.
