[Uncle Joe]

We speak with the reporter who revealed the Israeli plan to displace or kill the entire Palestinian population of north Gaza. Israeli Major General Giora Eiland has proposed ordering everyone in northern Gaza to evacuate within one week, after which Israel will conduct a total siege on the area and deem anyone who remains an eligible target for military attack. "Are we talking about Israel committing an extermination of hundreds of tens of thousands of people if they will choose to stay?" asks Meron Rapoport, editor and writer at Local Call and columnist at _+972 Magazine_, who says many areas in Gaza have already been ordered to evacuate and are not receiving new aid deliveries. "We have the sense here that this plan is being actually implemented without being officially adopted."
