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.

That makes it a Theocracy.
They really can’t, though. They’d have to give up their cheap, oppressed labor force. Unless they’ve finally decided to do that, which would be a real change in their position. They’re just going to keep squeezing.
If Israel wanted Gaza they would have taken it years ago or never left in the first place.
