Israel's defence minister says he has instructed its military to prepare a plan to move all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp in the south of the territory.
Israel Katz told journalist on Monday he wanted to establish a humanitarian city on the ruins of the city of Rafah to initially house 600,000 Palestinians and eventually the whole 2.1 million population.
He said the goal was to bring people inside after security screening to ensure they were not harmless operatives and that they would not be allowed to leave.
