A planned “humanitarian city” inside Gaza intended to hold hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be a “concentration camp,” former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has warned.

In an interview broadcast on 8th July 2025, the World at One’s Sarah Montague spoke to Baroness Helena Kennedy KC, a human rights lawyer who last year served as an expert on a panel convened by the Internation Criminal Court. Baroness Kennedy said the plan would force Palestinians into a “concentration camp”.

Israeli forces neutralized two terrorists who had fired an anti-tank missile at soldiers in the northern Gaza area of Gaza City last week, the Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday. The IDF also discovered and destroyed underground shafts and tunnels in the area.
