Israel Approves UAE-Backed 'Green Rafah' Housing Pilot, Blocks Mobile Homes Until November

Israel authorized infrastructure work in eastern Rafah under "Green Rafah," an Emirati-funded pilot for temporary housing that Netanyahu's office says will be free of Hamas oversight. The military will supervise water, sewage, and power. Authorities separately banned mobile home entry until at least November. Researcher Mohammad al-Aila says that violates the Sharm el-Sheikh ceasefire's humanitarian protocol, which requires temporary housing and repairs.
