The Israeli military says it plans to relocate the 1.4 million Palestinians sheltered in Rafah to "humanitarian islands" in the center of the territory.
Despite alarm from international allies, Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to launch an offensive in Rafah, with claims that four Hamas battalions were there.
Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said that civilians will be moved to designated areas in coordination with international actors.
" We have to make sure that 1.4 million people or at least a significant amount of 1.4 million will move. Where? On the humanitarian islands that we will create with the international community ," Hagari told reporters.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said last month that the organization would not support any "forced displacement" of civilians from Rafah.
Hagari said the "islands" will provide temporary shelter, food, water and other necessities. He did not say when the Rafah evacuation would take place, nor when the Rafah offensive would begin.
"The time will have to be coordinated with neighboring Egypt" , he concluded.
