Israel will create a 'sterile zone' in Gaza for aid distribution, Netanyahu says

Israel will create a “sterile zone” in southern Gaza for pre-screened Palestinians, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday. 

“In this zone, which will be totally free of Hamas, residents of Gaza will receive full humanitarian aid,” he added. 

It's not clear how long Palestinians will stay in the zone, as Netanyahu said that in order to end the war, one condition is the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, according to a plan US President Donald Trump floated earlier this year.
