The idea of the humanitarian area, according to Katz, is to accommodate initially some XXXXXXX Palestinians from the Mawasi area on the coast, after screening them to ensure Hamas operatives are not entering. Palestinians will not be allowed to leave the zone, he says. Eventually, the idea is to bring the entire Palestinian civilian population to the zone, while the IDF secures it from a distance, as international bodies work to manage the area. An additional four aid distribution sites would be established in the area, according to Katz. Director General of the Defense Ministry, Amir Baram, has already begun advancing the planning for the zone, which Katz stresses will not be run by the IDF, but instead by international bodies. Katz says Israel seeks to hold on to the Morag Corridor, north of Rafah, in a hostage deal with Hamas. During a potential ceasefire, Israel would work to establish the new humanitarian zone, south of the corridor, he says. Katz also emphasizes his ambition to encourage Palestinians to "voluntarily emigrate" from the Gaza Strip to other countries, saying this plan "should be fulfilled." Also in the briefing, Katz says the IDF is holding onto nearly XX% of the Strip's territory.
