A U.S.-backed group proposed a $2 billion plan to relocate Gaza’s population to large-scale camps in Egypt and Cyprus, aiming to replace Hamas’s control with voluntary emigration. The controversial plan, discussed in the White House, has been criticized as unfeasible and ethically problematic, with no official U.S. support confirmed.
A $2 billion proposal for the voluntary relocation of Gaza’s Palestinian population to “Humanitarian Transit Areas” was discussed in the White House, aimed at replacing Hamas’s control with large-scale camps for temporary residence, deradicalization, and potential emigration. The plan, initiated by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) after February 11, 2025, envisions eight massive camps, each housing hundreds of thousands, with Egypt and Cyprus named as potential destinations alongside other unspecified countries.
A source involved in the project stated, “The intent is to take the fear factor away, enabling Palestinians to escape control of Hamas and providing them a safe area to house their families.” The camps, designed to include schools and sanitation, would be overseen by GHF for construction and temporary relocation, with operations projected to start within 90 days of funding.
