TL;DR Summary

An Israeli government ministry has drafted a proposal to transfer Gaza's 2.3 million people to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, causing condemnation from Palestinians and worsening tensions with Cairo.

Egypt has expressed opposition to taking in Palestinian refugees, and Palestinians reject the idea, citing the trauma of displacement during Israel's creation in 1948.
