IDF defies Netanyahu's plan for 'humanitarian city' in Gaza [View all]
Source: The Times (UK)
The Israeli military has refused to carry out a plan to confine hundreds of thousands of people in a new “humanitarian city” in Gaza, after senior officers objected and reservists said it would be a war crime.
In a remarkable stand-off with Binyamin Netanyahu’s government, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) pushed back against a request from the defence ministry to establish a new civilian-only area and move up to 600,000 Palestinians there.
The office of Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, the chief of the general staff, said that the military’s duties did not involve forcibly moving civilians either within or out of the Gaza Strip. He argued the plan was not part of the stated objectives of the war: to destroy Hamas and free the remaining hostages.
The row culminated in a heated exchange between Netanyahu and Zamir during a war cabinet meeting over plans for the future of Gaza.
