A WSJ report highlights an Israeli proposal given to Egypt, denoting the "evacuation plan" for the 1.2 forcefully displaced Palestinians in Rafah ahead of a likely Israeli invasion of the city.

An alleged "evacuation plan" for the 1.2 million Palestinians who have been forcibly displaced to Rafah has been presented by "Israel" as revealed by The Wall Street Journal.

The proposal has named the US and its Arab Gulf partners as the funders of the upcoming Israeli crime against humanity as part of the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip under the pretext of eradicating the last four Hamas battalions.

The WSJ revealed that the proposal was indeed presented to Egypt as "Tel Aviv" pushed back against the US refusal of the Israeli plot to invade Rafah.

According to Egyptian officials cited by the WSJ, "Israel" has proposed that Cairo be in charge of establishing 15 campsites of around 25,000 tents each across the southwestern part of the Gaza Strip. Egypt would also be in charge of setting up the camps with temporary sanitation facilities, water supply, and field hospitals, as per the proposal.

The facilities are anticipated to also incorporate medical field clinics, and, in coordination with "Israel", Cairo would determine the procedure for allowing injured Palestinians to leave Gaza.

The proposal, according to the report, suggests that "Israel" is preparing for an imminent attack on Rafah, despite objections from the United States and Egypt.

Egypt has not made any public statements regarding the Israeli plan.

Rafah attack continuation of genocidal war against Palestinians: Hamas

The Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas stressed that the "Nazi-like" Israeli occupation army attack on the city of Rafah is considered a continuation of the genocidal war against the Palestinian people.

In a statement commenting on the massacre that the Israeli occupation forces committed against the southern city, in which at least 100 Palestinians were martyred and several others were wounded, Hamas held the US administration and President Biden personally, along with the Israeli occupation government, fully responsible for this crime.

This massacre committed by "the terrorist Netanyahu government and its Nazi-like army" flies in the face of the urgent measures called for by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including ceasing all activities amounting to genocide, the movement underlined.

It also deemed the attack on Rafah as a deliberate escalation in the genocidal war, which expands the scope of massacres against the Palestinian people.

Elsewhere, Hamas called on the League of Arab States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the United Nations Security Council to take urgent and serious action to stop the Zionist aggression.

Egypt threatens to suspend 'peace accords' if 'Israel' invades Rafah

Egypt has threatened to dissolve its normalization agreement with "Israel" if the occupation deploys condensed forces along its border with the Gazan city of Rafah.

Two Egyptian officials and a Western diplomat stated on Sunday that in case "Israel" makes the move, Egypt would be forced to block the Rafah crossing, currently the only humanitarian corridor that is supplying Gaza with relief aid. 

This comes a day after Cairo sent warnings to "Israel" regarding their diplomatic relations - that these may cease in case the Israeli forces launch a full-scale invasion of the city of Rafah, according to The Wall Street Journal.

"Any ground operation in Rafah would lead to an immediate suspension of the peace treaty between the two countries," the report said, citing sources. 

The officials told WSJ that a delegation from Cairo recently paid a visit to Israeli counterparts in "Tel Aviv" to specifically discuss the situation in Rafah. 

"Israeli officials are trying to get Egypt to agree on some cooperation regarding the ground invasion, which Egyptian officials are resisting," the officials said.
