Eilish posted a CNN report on her Instagram account detailing Defense Minister Israel Katz’s directive for the IDF to expedite preparations for the compound, which would be built on the ruins of Rafah. The planned site is intended to house some of the 600,000 Palestinians who were previously displaced to the coastal area of Al-Mawasi.
According to the report, entry into the compound would be contingent upon security screenings to ensure that evacuees are not affiliated with Hamas. Once inside, residents would not be permitted to leave. Katz has indicated that the initiative could expand to include the relocation of Gaza’s entire population—over 2 million people.
