Meir Ben-Shabbat, expressing clear intentions since start of Siege on Gaza !Ben-Shabbat and his think tank have made their position public in Tweets, Opinion articles, white-papers. Israeli officials have made similar statements.
“There is no doubt that in order for this plan to be realized, many conditions must exist concurrently. Currently, these conditions are optimal, and it is unclear when another such an opportunity will arise, if ever.”

Option#1 | Warsaw Ghetto Concentration Camp Rafah

15 October 2023 | Translation of Hebrew Tweet
A humanitarian center for Gaza evacuees should be established in Sinai or, alternatively, in the south of the Gaza Strip in the area of the former Dahaniya airport
highlights:
● In order to achieve the goals of the war in Gaza, as defined by the cabinet, the IDF will probably be required to enter the Gaza Strip and fight in a built-up area. Both from a military point of view, from a political point of view, and for humanitarian reasons, it is better for this fighting to take place when the small number of people are in the area mostly of uninvolved citizens.
● As in other cases around the world of intense fighting in a built-up area, Israel can initiate the evacuation of uninvolved civilians to predetermined areas where fighting will not occur. The condition for housing in these areas is non-participation in combat and complete disarmament.
● The first option in relation to the evacuation of the citizens from Gaza is to reach an agreement with the US, Egypt and the UN that will allow the establishment of an international humanitarian center in the Egyptian Rafah to treat the residents of Gaza.
● Another option is to establish a center in the Gaza Strip, at the southeastern edge of the Strip (the location of the former Dahaniya Airport), where it will be possible to house hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who wish to do so. In addition to being an uninhabited area, this is a convenient area in terms of providing international humanitarian aid.
● From an examination of the population density in refugee camps all over the world, it appears that the population density can range from 25 thousand to 100 thousand people per square kilometer.
This means that it is possible to live in such an area between 200-800 thousand people, all depending on the conditions. That is, such an area can house hundreds of thousands of Palestinian citizens far from the combat zone.

Rafah is about the same land area and population as Haifa (3rd Largest City in Israel)
Due to Siege, Rafah's population is FIVE TIMES its pre-War population--Relative to U.S. cities, Rafah's POPULATION DENSITY of 56,000 people per square miles ranks 2nd in the U.S. after Manhattan Island (73,000 per square mile).
Rafah IS NOW like THE WARSAW GHETTO! (350k/per square mile). In terms of Population, It would take ELEVEN Little Rock's to equal ONE Gaza Strip. Imagine ELEVEN times the population of Little Rock Arkansas being placed inside the land area of Little Rock (120 sq miles) --This is roughly equivalent to the Gaza Strip (142 sq miles). Now Imagine cramming HALF of this population into less than one fifth of Little Rock--This is equivalent to Rafah under Siege today.

The Israeli security think tank, Misgav (the Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy or INSZL) is funded by the far-right Kohelet Forum. Its director is Meir Ben Shabbat, a former national security advisor and 25 year veteran of the Shin Bet. Misgav has answered the question. Its proposes an Israeli form of the Final Solution of the the “Gaza Problem”: expulsion. The think tank produced a paper, written by Ari Vaitman entitled:
A plan for resettlement and final rehabilitation in Egypt of the entire population of Gaza: economic aspects.
Translated from Hebrew by Google
Position paper: A plan for resettlement and final rehabilitation in Egypt of the entire population of Gaza: economic aspects
By Amir Weitman
Main points
There is currently a unique and rare opportunity to evacuate the entire Gara Strip in coordination with the Egyptian government. An immediate, realistic and sustainable plan for the resettlement and humanitarian rehabilitation of the entire Arab population in the Gaza Strip is required which aligns well with the economic and geopolitical interests of Israel, ypt, the USA and Saudi Arabia.
In 2017, it was reported that there are about 10 million vacant housing units in gypt, of which about half are built and half are under construction. For example, in the two largest satellite cities of Cairo, The 6th of October" and "The 10th of Ramadan', there is a huge amount of built and empty apartments owned by the government and privately and construction areas sufficient to house about 6 million inhabitants.
The average cost of a 3-room apartment with an area of 95 square meters for an average Gazan family consisting of 5.14 people in one of the two cities indicated above is about $19,000. Taking into account the uently known size of the entire population living in the Gaza Strip, which ranges from about 1.4 For approximately 2.2 million people, it can be estimated that the total amount that will be required to be transferred to Egypt to finance the project will be on the order of 5 to 8 billion dollars.
Throwing an immediate stimulus at such a height to the Egyptian economy would provide a tremendous and immediate benefit to al-Sisi's regime. These sums of money, in relation to the Israeli economy, are minimal. Investing a few billion dollars (even if it is 20 or 30 billion allars to solve this difficult issue is an innovative, cheap and ustainable solution.
There is no doubt that in order for this plan to come to fruition, many conditions must exist at the same time. Currently, these conditions are met and it is unclear when such an opportunity will arise again, if ever. Twitter Link | Proposal for forcibly removing Gazans to Cairo [removed]

Proposal for Expulsion of Gazans to Cairo
Discussion of the Misgav Expulsion (Nakba 2.0) Plan by Security Analyst Richard Silverstein
Nakba 2.0: The Plan, Israel's Ministers Have Boasted about Expelling the Gazans
Excerpt from "Israeli Security Think Tank Misgav Institute (INSZL), funded by Kohelet Forum proposes expelling 1.5-million Gazans to Egypt" by Richard Silverstein October 22, 2023 | Tikun Olam
Nakba 2.0: the plan
Israel’s fascist ministers and MKs have boasted about Nakba 2.0 in recent speeches. This is Nakba on steroids. It doesn’t matter if this plan is never enacted (though it very well might). The main goal is to inject these ideas like a toxin into the body politic. To normalize ethnic cleansing in Israel discourse. That isn’t a difficult proposition at all, given that every Israeli poll asking about views on “transfer” (i.e. expulsion) of the Palestinian population, finds up to 40% of Israeli Jews agree. So there is already a built-in constituency for it.
One glaring weakness of the plan is how it would be carried out. There is no mention of voluntary transfer. Presumably, Gazans would have no choice but to leave. How would you force 1.5-million people to abandon their homes and move to a foreign country? Put them on cattle cars?
The difference between the polls mentioned above and this plan is that the former ask the respondents a general question, without asking for concrete means of carrying it out. So Israelis answer a theoretical question, not a practical one.
This plan, on the other hand, offers a clear roadmap how to carry out full-scale ethnic cleansing. That is something new. Chekhov is reputed to have said that if there is a gun on stage in the first act, it will be fired by the third. This is the first act of Gaza ethnic cleansing.
The second stage would be doing the same to the Palestinian population on the West Bank, Again, this is not a theoretical issue. It is a very concrete one.
During the Gaza War, settlers have taken advantage of the world’s attention being focused elsewhere to forcibly expel nearly 1,000 Gazans living in 12 small villages. They did so by destroying livestock, olive trees and even murdering residents. All with total impunity. In fact, with the protection of the IDF.
Imagine Judeo-terrorists with guns need the added protection of the IDF to carry out their pogroms! Once they succeed in depopulating the smaller villages they will move on to the larger ones. Finally, there will be inexorable momentum to expel all West Bank Palestinians.
The settler ministers, Ben Gvir and Smotrich, readily and enthusiastically endorse these acts of Judeo-terror. They would certainly endorse full-scale ethnic cleansing of the entire population of 2.5-million Palestinians. Where would they go? Where hundreds of thousands of expellees went after the 1967 War: to Jordan.
Egypt and Jordan: no way!
Imagine what King Abdullah, whose country is already 50% Palestinian, thinks about absorbing that many immigrants. The kingdom’s population is 11-million. Adding that many people means a 25% population increase. It would tax the resources and infrastructure, not to mention foment a huge amount of social unrest, including resentment of the newcomers.
Conditions in Egypt render the think tank plan moot. The country faces enormous social and political strains. There is an Islamist insurgency in the Sinai which threatens security forces. It is also one of the most corrupt governments on earth. All those billions likely won’t build a single house. Rather they will line the pockets of al-Sisi and his cronies.
The plan is daft. The product of a way of thinking that treats human beings as livestock to be herded out of one corral and into another. Palestinians are a “problem.” A problem needs a solution.
They pose an ongoing threat to a Judeo-supremacist state envisioned by the Kohelet Forum and its fascist cultists. The easiest and best answer is simply to get rid of them, finally. A neat and simple and final solution.
It does present at least one problem: it is genocide. The forced removal of an entire population from its homes is not only a violation of international law (which Israel ignores) but genocide. The world can countenance virtually any Israeli atrocity. But this may be on too many. The world may, and should step in and stop this. Then, it may be time for implementation of BDS, an international boycott.
While the paper itself presents a delusional plan shot through with presumption and implausible assumptions, it must not be dismissed as the product of the fevered mind of the right-wing mad scientist. Frankenstein rules the kingdom.

Will Palestinians be forced to become tomb dwellers in Cairo's "City of the Dead?"
The phenomenon of "tomb-dwellers" (people squatting in tombs because of displacement or lack of housing in the city) probably peaked in the 1980s, when they are estimated to have been around 6,000 in number.[3] These squatters were still a very small fraction of the total population of the cemetery zones: around 3% of nearly 180,000 people at that time.
The tombs themselves were often a better alternative to squatting or low-quality housing in the inner city, as they provided already-built structures with relatively ample room, although with little access to amenities.[1]

There is a persistent housing shortage ing Cairo, which has resulted in some of city's poorest residents taking resident in the city's ancient, massive "City of the Dead" where mausoleums provide shelter for those who can afford residence among the living.
Is Cairo ready for 2 million refugees? UN says NO!
Here is the Claim made by Zionist Think Tank:
"In 2017, it was reported that there are about 10 million vacant housing units in Egypt, of which about half are built and half are under construction. For example, in the two largest satellite cities of Cairo…there is a huge amount of built and empty apartments owned by the government and private parties, and construction areas sufficient to house about 6 million inhabitants. - Tweet from Misgav Think Tank"

Egypt-Urban Issues
Population (2014): 86 million
GDP Growth (2013-14): 1%
Inequality Adjusted Human Development Index: 110/187 (2014)
Urban Population of total population (2012): 43.6%

Urbanization growth rate: 2%
Proportion of urban population living in slum areas (2007): 17.1%
Youth population: 23.7%
Dynamics of Urbanization and Informality
43% of the population of Egypt lives in 223 cities, of which 56 % are concentrated in the Greater Cairo Region as well as Alexandria governorates.
The Greater Cairo Region is one of the largest metropolitan area on the African continent. It is a prime engine for economic growth in Egypt and with over 18 million inhabitants, it accommodates close to 20% of the country’s population. The events in 2011 aggravated the already existing trend of a growing number of informal and unsafe areas emerging in Egypt.
According to the Ministry of Local Development, about:
1,171 areas across the country are considered informal, inhabiting a population of around 15 million inhabitants.
Around 60% of these areas are located in the Greater Cairo Region.
Urban planning, infrastructure and service delivery have not been able to keep up with the RAPID URBAN GROWTH experienced in Egypt over the last FOUR (4) decades.
There is a lack of public space and increasing deficiencies in infrastructure and services. Due to inefficient public land management systems and outdated housing policies, impoverished individuals have no alternative but to settle in unplanned and sometimes unsafe areas.
In addition, infrastructure is deteriorating, public services and transportation systems are stretched to the limit, air and noise pollution levels are high and traffic congestion is chronic in most areas.
The complex set of institutional arrangements that fragment responsibilities, also constrains efficient service delivery.
A lack of efficient and accountable planning and management systems in Egypt, as well as rapid urbanization, has caused socio-political and economic challenges that the country has not been able to address.
This contributed to a situation from which the recent so called “Arab Spring” events could develop, that called for a more transparent and accountable government, social equity and justice
Impact of Syrian Refugees
Some 250,000 to 300,000 Syrians currently reside in Egypt according to government estimates provided in June 2013. Of these, 127,519 individuals have been registered by UNHCR as of 16 November 2015. Refugees continued to arrive and, as those who have been in Egypt for some time and continue to deplete their savings, Syrians become less able to find housing for themselves and their families…
Urban Economic Woes…High Poverty…
Urban Economy Although there has been a slight improvement in the Egyptian peoples’ economic situation over the last decades, the country is, due to various reasons, still struggling to reach sustainable and diversified economic growth. The proportion of the population living in extreme poverty declined from 8.2% in 1990 to 3.4% in 2008/9. The total poverty ratio declined from 24.2% in 1990/1992 to 21.6% in 2008/2009. Updated data has not been available since the revolutions…

Palestinians' possible new lives as Tomb-dwellers
Wikipedia: City of the Dead (Cairo) - Wikipedia
The phenomenon of "tomb-dwellers" (people squatting in tombs because of displacement or lack of housing in the city) probably peaked in the 1980s, when they are estimated to have been around 6,000 in number.[3] These squatters were still a very small fraction of the total population of the cemetery zones: around 3% of nearly 180,000 people at that time.[1][3]
The tombs themselves were often a better alternative to squatting or low-quality housing in the inner city, as they provided already-built structures with relatively ample room, although with little access to amenities.[1]
By the end of the 19th century, however, the housing problems of Cairo began to be felt.[1] Modernization efforts led to the demolition of many old buildings in the historic districts of the city, displacing much of the poor and working class towards the outskirts of the city.
During the second half of the 20th century, rapid urbanization and the modernization of industries in and around Cairo lead to a massive migration that the city was ill-equipped to handle.[13] The intensified urbanization of Cairo itself, and the exclusion of the poorest from government initiatives, resulted in a more urgent need for informal or improvised housing.[1]
The destruction of the 1992 Cairo earthquake was another instance that forced many people to move into family tombs, thus adding to the number of people already living in the City of the Dead.[14]

Biography: Richard Silverstein (RS)- Wikipedia Entry
Richard Silverstein, the blog's creator, is a full-time blogger[3] who describes himself as a "progressive (critical) Zionist" who supports an "Israeli withdrawal to pre-67 borders and an internationally guaranteed peace agreement with the Palestinians".[2] He also created the now-defunct Israel Palestine Forum, a progressive forum dedicated to discussing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.[4]
He often interviews on Iranian Press TV and has contributed essays to Al Jazeera, The Huffington Post, The Guardian, Haaretz, The Jewish Daily Forward, the Los Angeles Times, Tikkun, Truthout, The American Conservative, Middle East Eye and Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.[4][5][6][7][8]
Silverstein was born in New York City in 1952,[9] the son of a schoolteacher. Aspiring to be a Hebrew professor, he attended the Jewish Theological Seminary, earning a bachelor's degree in Hebrew literature. He also earned a BA in comparative literature from Columbia University, and studied Hebrew literature at UCLA, earning an MA.[4] He spent an undergraduate and graduate year in Israel, studying Hebrew literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Silverstein pursued but never completed a PhD. He worked as a fundraiser for Jewish causes, and in 1997, began working as a fundraiser for the University of Washington. He quit his job in 2003, the year his first child was born, and began blogging. He lives in Seattle with his wife, a lawyer, and their three children.[4][10] Silverstein lived in Israel for two years, studying at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[11]
Early days
At its inception in 2003, the blog did not focus exclusively on Israel; it included articles about the Seattle restaurant scene, world music, and Silverstein's native Hudson Valley. During Israel's 2006 war in Lebanon, Silverstein noticed a spike in the number of visitors, many of them from Israel. After the war, he developed contacts with writers of similar viewpoints, such as Philip Weiss of Mondoweiss and Max Blumenthal.[11]
