This marks the first time a former Israeli Prime Minister has explicitly equated current Gaza policies to concentration camps. The unprecedented internal criticism from such a high-level former official (Olmert served 2006-2009) reveals deepening divisions within Israeli leadership over Gaza's future. The specific plan to concentrate the entire population of Gaza into a single controlled area represents a scale of civilian relocation unseen in modern Middle East conflicts.

📰 What Happened
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has strongly condemned Defense Minister Israel Katz's plan to establish a 'humanitarian city' in southern Gaza. The proposal would initially confine 600,000 Palestinians in Rafah, eventually expanding to hold the entire civilian population after security screenings. Olmert, 79, explicitly called it a 'concentration camp' and warned that forcing Palestinians into this confined space constitutes ethnic cleansing. Katz's plan includes encouraging 'voluntary' emigration from Gaza.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The proposed mass relocation of 2+ million Palestinians into a controlled 'humanitarian city' aligns with Ezekiel's prophecies about population movements and territorial realignments in the last days. Defense Minister Katz's emigration plan, combined with Olmert's stark warning, suggests an accelerating push toward prophesied regional demographic shifts. This development particularly connects to prophecies about Gaza's role in end-time conflicts (Zeph 2:4-7). The unprecedented scale of proposed civilian confinement and the internal Israeli political divide it's creating points to the prophesied pressure cooker scenario that precedes major Middle East confrontations.
