Definition of concentration camp:
A facility established or operated by Israeli state authorities or affiliated private entities, including contractors portrayed as independent or international (such as the GHF), used to detain large civilian populations based on identity markers such as ethnicity, religion, or national origin; particularly Palestinians. These camps would be designed to isolate, control, or forcibly relocate communities that Israel considers undesirable, with the intent of removing them from their ancestral lands.
Even if officially framed as humane, lawful, or necessary for security or humanitarian purposes, such narratives do not change the essential nature of what these facilities would represent. If established, they would categorically be concentration camps, defined by their intended function to systemically detain, displace, and erase Palestinian communities based on identity. Legal authorization or moral justification would not alter this classification. Their status is determined by their purpose and impact, not by the language used to legitimize them.
Condition:
At least one such facility must be operational in Rafah before the end of February, 2026.
1,000@dp9000 I think the language used in the definition is pretty clear on that point. The particular nomenclature and discursive narrative used isn't of substance, what matters is the practical underlying reality of the goal; containment and (eventually) displacement. The short answer is a yes.
