A feud has broken out between the Israeli government and the military over the cost and impact of a planned camp for Palestinians in southern Gaza, as politicians attacked former prime minister Ehud Olmert for warning that the project would create a "concentration camp" if it goes ahead.

Israel's military and government clash over plans for Gaza camp

The "humanitarian city" project has become a sticking point in cease-fire talks with Hamas. Israel wants to keep troops stationed across significant parts of Gaza, including the ruins of Rafah city in the south, where defence minister, Israel Katz, says the camp will be built.

Hamas is pushing for a more comprehensive withdrawal. Husam Badran, a senior member of the group said the camp plans were a "deliberately obstructive demand" that would complicate talks, the New York Times reported.

"This would be an isolated city that resembles a ghetto," he said in a message to the paper. "This is utterly unacceptable, and no Palestinian would agree to this."

The defence minister, Israel Katz, last week revealed that he had ordered the army to draw up plans for a camp. It envisages Palestinians crammed into an area between the Egyptian border and the Israeli military's "Morag corridor", which cuts across the strip.

He said initially 600,000 people would move there, and eventually Gaza's entire population. Those inside would only be allowed to leave for another country, he told Israeli journalists at a briefing.

The plan was unveiled while the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was in Washington DC for an official visit, but was understood to have his backing.
