UK Weighs Sanctions Over Israel's ‘Humanitarian City' Proposal
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy suggested he's considering imposing sanctions on Israel's defense minister over his proposal to move Palestinians in Gaza to a 'humanitarian city' in Rafah, in the latest sign of growing tensions between European governments and Benjamin Netanyahu's administration.
Israel Katz told journalists last week that he instructed the military to prepare to establish a camp built in the ruins of the city, Israeli media reported. He said Palestinians would be brought inside after security screening to ensure they were not Hamas operatives, and that they would not be allowed to leave, according to the reports. Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert told the Guardian that the plan is comparable to a 'concentration camp.'
