Egyptian officials told the Wall Street Journal that Israel is preparing to move civilians from Rafah to Khan Yunis and other areas, where it plans to set up tent shelters, food distribution centers, and medical facilities such as field hospitals.
According to the sources, the civilian evacuation operation will last about two to three weeks in coordination with the United States, Egypt, and other Arab countries such as the United Arab Emirates.
It was also reported that Israel plans to move forces to Rafah gradually and to focus on areas where it believes Hamas leaders and terrorists are hiding.
The United States has appointed veteran diplomat Steve Fagin as the lead civilian representative to a U.S.-backed ceasefire monitoring center near the Gaza Strip, aimed at supporting efforts for a sustainable end to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
An international security force to be put in place in Gaza under a ceasefire agreement will have to be made up of countries that Israel is "comfortable with", U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday during a visit to Israel.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said the United States and others must do more to push Israel to stop violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement, including the possible use of sanctions or halting arms sales.
