After 24 hours Israel will slaughter who is left and pretend like everyone who isn't Hamas had time to leave. This smells like a thin concession so Israel can pretend like they follow international laws for whatever comes next.

And then many of those who managed to flee end up dying too, since they have nowhere to go.

Also, large crowds fleeing in panic are not exactly save in themselves. And don't even start with people with disabilities.

They aren't part of the Geneva Convention, so they'll likely stick with the their own (US-backed) rules.

They're just offering it as a fig leaf that pundits can use as a talking point, and basically every journalist that isn't Medhi Hassan is just going to neglect to push back and mention the practical impossibility of evacuating Gaza City.
