Relocation talk vs control

The same source argued that implementing such a scenario is “unlikely,” saying the occupation in recent months “has done everything possible to push people kilometers west” through “widespread destruction of infrastructure and land and trees.”

Agence Media Palestine reported that in an interview on Israeli media Channel 7, Israeli Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Gila Gamliel said she had presented a government plan aimed at the “relocation” of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip with support of Israeli external intelligence services (Mossad).

Agence Media Palestine added that Gamliel said, “We are currently in control of more than 60 percent of Gaza militarily,” and that Israel would continue advancing until it achieved the war’s objective of ensuring Hamas could no longer control the Gaza Strip “neither militarily nor politically.”

Attacks and displacement

Agence Media Palestine said that despite a ceasefire “officially in effect,” the Israeli army was intensifying abuses, and it described Israeli operations over the past 24 hours in Khan Younis, Rafah, and Gaza including “artillery fire,” “the demolition of homes,” and attacks targeting “residential neighborhoods.”

The report said WAFA correspondents reported that Israeli soldiers carried out “four large-scale demolition operations at dawn on Tuesday, June 30,” targeting homes and civilian infrastructure in the eastern and northeastern areas of Khan Younis.

It also described Israeli strikes beyond Khan Younis, including artillery fire striking “the northwestern neighborhoods of Rafah,” and it said Israeli tanks opened fire toward the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis.

Agence Media Palestine further reported that hospitals said “at least eight Palestinians, including two children, were killed on Monday,” and it placed the death toll since the so-called “ceasefire” went into effect in October 2025 at “1,045 dead,” with “at least 3,380 injured.”

Plans, timelines, and governance

Al-Jazeera Net said that meetings of the Peace Council in Gaza held in Cyprus over the past week approved “new steps to move a group of Gaza Strip residents outside what is known as the 'Yellow Line'” within a few months under Palestinian and international forces.

It reported that the meetings focused on “specific timelines, security arrangements, the number of Gazans expected to move to new areas, and the issue of future administration in the sector,” and that attendees agreed to proceed “even if Hamas is not disarmed in the near future.”

Al-Jazeera Net said the plan being prepared expects “land preparation and infrastructure work” to be completed within “3 to 6 months,” so selected residents can move to areas inside what is known as the “Yellow Line.”

It added that the first site is expected to be “Tel al-Sultan,” where “tens of thousands of residents” would be moved in the initial phase, and it said the temporary communities are expected to expand to accommodate “hundreds of thousands.”

The same source said Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qasem described the relocation project as “dangerous,” stressing that it “poses a direct threat to the Arab national security system” and “a blatant challenge to the will of all Arab countries, led by Egypt.”
