<p>GAZA, (PIC)</p>
<p>Data presented by the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor highlight that
the proposed American plan for the Gaza Strip carries fundamental
dangers, most notably the imposition of forced geographic divisions that
entrench Israeli military control and create restrictive environments
that push toward the forced displacement of residents from their
original areas.</p>
<p>The Monitor also warns in a report, of a forced demographic
reconfiguration through closed \u201ccontainer cities\u201d with a ghetto-like
character, and of the de facto annexation of land and resources,
particularly the coastline and gas fields, in ways that undermine basic
Palestinian rights, foremost among them the right to self-determination.</p>
<p class="gmail-has-vivid-red-color gmail-has-text-color gmail-has-link-color gmail-wp-elements-d5c9de472e69e554ed0ff2b80931f1c3">Strict geographic divisions entrenching military control and forced displacement</p>
<p>The Euro-Med Monitor pointed to the dangers of the circulated
American plan, which aims to divide the Gaza Strip into two main zones:
red and green, separated by a militarized yellow line.</p>
<p>According to the Monitor\u2019s statement, this plan entails wide-ranging
risks, most notably forcing Palestinian residents to leave their
original places of residence by converting vast areas of the Strip into
closed military zones directly controlled by the Israeli army.</p>
<p>Based on information obtained by the Monitor, sourced from
arrangements being coordinated through the US Civil-Military
Coordination Center, the plan relies on a rigid geographic separation
system that divides the Strip into population blocs surrounded by closed
military zones.</p>
<p>More than half of Gaza\u2019s area would effectively be placed under
direct military jurisdiction, where intensive surveillance systems and
strict restrictions on movement and essential aid are imposed. In this
environment, humanitarian needs are used as tools of pressure to compel
residents to relocate toward what is referred to as \u201csafe zones.\u201d</p>
<p>The first phase divides the Strip into a \u201cred zone\u201d covering 47% of
the area and including the majority of civilians, and a \u201cgreen zone\u201d
covering 53% and placed under full Israeli military control, where armed
groups created and funded by Israel are deployed. A yellow line between
the two zones serves as a military boundary, where Israeli forces are
permitted to use shoot-to-kill policies against anyone who approaches or
attempts to cross it.</p>
<p>The Monitor confirms that the yellow line, marked with visible signs,
has already been physically shifted on the ground beyond the published
maps, advancing over 1,000 meters in some areas. This is done to
unilaterally redraw lines of control, expand the areas under occupation,
and further restrict Palestinian movement within the Strip as part of a
de facto annexation and fragmentation of territorial unity.</p>
<p class="gmail-has-vivid-red-color gmail-has-text-color gmail-has-link-color gmail-wp-elements-adbc39e6d61f905ab2bf267e8a62581a">Control of the coastline and plundering of natural resources under long-term arrangements</p>
<p>The Monitor indicates that the plan aligns with Israeli efforts to
impose full control over Gaza\u2019s Mediterranean coastline, classified as a
\u201cred zone\u201d under the plan. This would entail seizing marine resources,
including fishing zones, gas fields, and existing and future coastal
infrastructure.</p>
<p>The Monitor describes this approach as an unlawful seizure and
organized plunder of the resources of an occupied territory, and a
direct violation of the international principle of the permanent
sovereignty of peoples over their natural wealth. It also contravenes
the legal obligations of an occupying power, which is prohibited from
exploiting natural resources for its exclusive benefit or seizing public
or private property in occupied territories.</p>
<p>The Monitor sees this maritime control as part of long-term
arrangements that undermine Palestinians\u2019 right to manage their own
resources and grant Israel a position of security and economic dominance
over the Strip\u2019s maritime domain, deepening the reality of de facto
annexation of land and resources.</p>
<p class="gmail-has-vivid-red-color gmail-has-text-color gmail-has-link-color gmail-wp-elements-ad3c737c636f9ff056c960e20ca45082">\u201cContainer Cities\u201d as a modern Ghetto model imposing security hierarchies, systematic discrimination</p>
<p>The plan includes establishing \u201ccontainer cities\u201d or closed
residential camps inside the green zone, each accommodating around
25,000 people in a narrow area not exceeding one square kilometer,
surrounded by fences and checkpoints that cannot be crossed except after
strict security screening procedures.</p>
<p>The Monitor stresses that these cities are nothing but modern forms
of ghettos seen in historical colonial and racist eras, where population
groups were crammed into closed areas with movement controlled from the
outside.</p>
<p>Information shows that these cities would not provide \u201ctemporary
shelter\u201d but would function as imposed enclaves where residents become
populations under management and control, deprived of freedom of
movement, residence, work, and education. Basic rights would be treated
as conditional privileges dependent on security checks set by Israeli
and American authorities.</p>
<p>The data indicate that engineering units have already begun designing
the first experimental city in Rafah, pending funding. The plan
establishes systematic discrimination among Palestinians, as large
numbers would be moved to these temporary cities based on security
assessments that exclude broad groups classified as \u201cnot meeting
requirements\u201d or \u201chigh-risk.\u201d</p>
<p>As a result, essential protections and services, such as housing,
food, and healthcare, would become tools of pressure and political and
security filtering.</p>
<p>The Monitor asserts that life inside these cities would be governed
by arbitrary supervision and externally imposed arrangements, leading to
the confiscation of residents\u2019 ability to manage their own affairs and
solidifying a new political reality that undermines Gaza\u2019s future,
identity, and legitimate right to self-determination.</p>
<p class="gmail-has-vivid-red-color gmail-has-text-color gmail-has-link-color gmail-wp-elements-29f6c831e2d85d5630a23a510044ef89">A political path fragmenting land and people, and American role beyond \u201cmediation\u201d</p>
<p>The Euro-Med Monitor warns that the plan is not merely a set of
security arrangements but part of a broader agenda aimed at dismantling
the unity of Palestinian land and people by establishing a permanent
separation between Gaza and the West Bank and imposing a \u201cstarting from
zero\u201d logic through the creation of a new authority in Gaza, separate
from the Palestinian national framework.</p>
<p>This amounts to a forced political re-engineering imposed from the
outside, threatening Palestinians\u2019 basic rights and fragmenting their
social and political fabric.</p>
<p>The Monitor criticized the American role, stating that Washington is
not acting as a mediator or humanitarian actor, but rather as an active
party participating in the design of field-political engineering that
entrenches de facto annexation and forced displacement under the guise
of security arrangements.</p>
<p>It argues that Washington\u2019s supervision of the Civil-Military
Coordination Center and its use of influence to push the plan forward
contradict its international obligations not to recognize unlawful
situations or assist in entrenching them.</p>
<p>The Monitor calls on the international community to acknowledge the
fact that no arrangements in Gaza can be legitimate unless based on
ending the occupation, withdrawing Israeli forces entirely, lifting the
land, sea, and air blockade, ensuring freedom of movement, enabling the
flow of aid and reconstruction materials, and allowing residents to
manage their civil affairs and freely choose their representatives.</p>
<p>It also urges the United Nations and the states party to the Geneva
Conventions to reject any plans that reproduce Israeli control in the
form of enclaves or transitional zones, and to refrain from supporting
or recognizing any arrangements involving de facto annexation, forced
displacement, or resource exploitation.</p>
<p>The Monitor stresses the need for immediate international pressure to
lift the blockade, open crossings, and support international
accountability to ensure no party escapes punishment.</p>
