Palestinians stand behind the bars of a symbolic cage

Surviving Palestinians will be herded into fenced “humanitarian shelters” policed by foreign forces under a plan led by US president Donald Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ in the coming weeks, according to an Israeli newspaper.

This will allow the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) to occupy more of Gaza, “deepen[ing] its grip on areas beyond the yellow line”, Israel Hayom reported on Tuesday.

The plan has been widely condemned on social media, with historian Assal Rad posting on X: “They’re building concentration camps.”

Under the pilot programme, unarmed civilians would be channelled to a first zone in Tel al-Sultan, near Rafah, an area that has been systematically razed by the Israeli military.

Palestinians in the camps will be under the control of “multinational forces” – known as the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) – from the Board of Peace as a condition of receiving food and aid.

Board of Peace officials have pledged that no concrete will be brought in for the reconstruction of Gaza in those areas, according to Israel Hayom.

One base for the foreign forces has already been built, and the Board of Peace has “begun identifying sites” for the establishment of large logistics warehouses for regulating the camps.

Israel Hayom described the plan as a “pincer movement”, with the IDF “biting off” more areas under Hamas control and the Board of Peace “biting off” the civilian population from Hamas.

The plan matches leaked documents for a “a surveilled, checkpoint-controlled ‘planned community’” that’s designed to force Palestinians “into what amounts to an Israeli panopticon”, Drop Site News reported.

Israeli military operations have continued in Gaza despite a ‘ceasefire’ coming into force in October 2025. Israel has violated the ceasefire thousands of times, killing more than 1,000 Palestinians including children.
