Islamic Jihad Responds to Israeli Decision to Displace Gaza Residents South

The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine condemned the Israeli army’s decision to distribute tents in southern Gaza as part of a plan to evacuate and relocate Gaza City residents from north to south.

The Islamic Jihad has condemned Israel’s distribution of tents in southern Gaza as a ploy to forcibly displace Gaza City residents from north to south, calling it a brutal attempt to seize the city.

The group denounced the move as a violation of the UN charter and an insult to international bodies, warning that forced displacement amid starvation, killings, and displacement, constitutes a crime against humanity.

This announcement follows Israeli security cabinet approval of a plan to control Gaza City, where over a million people are sheltering, and Netanyahu’s stated desire for full Israeli control of the Gaza Strip.

The UN has criticized the plan as a dangerous escalation that risks worsening the catastrophic situation for Palestinians and Israeli captives held by Hamas.
