Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

“The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said.

The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said.

The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format

    There’s no use in analogising such a complex situation, it utterly fails to capture the situation or the context. You’re also welcome to theorise whether or not Israel deliberately sought the deaths of 2000 citizens just to cleanse Gaza but that’s a massive claim for someone not privy to classified knowledge.

      Whether it sought that or not, it was awfully unprepared for the attack itself, but amazingly well prepared for all the followup military, diplomatic and propaganda actions. So I’m starting to think this is not a conspiracy theory.

        Crazy that’s a country only needs a little time to mobilise when they’re a conscription based country. In the words of the IRA Israel only needs to miss once for Hamas to get an attack off. If all it takes for you to “start believing” something is a mere suggestion with no evidence then I have a bridge to sell you and about 90 conspiracy theories as well.

          I’m not talking about mobilization, FFS.

          In the words of the IRA Israel only needs to miss once for Hamas to get an attack off

          What happened is not “missing once”.

          Further you just imagined something and heroically defeated the fruit of your imagination, I’ll leave you to it.
