I know others disagree, but to me this is deliberate and supports the Israeli right-wing hawks who have said the goal is the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza, one way or another. Minister Smotrich said they might allow a few thousand Palestinians to live in Gaza. Presumably, he thinks the other 2 million will either be murdered or forced to the Negev desert, which has been mentioned in the past, to starve there for lack of water.
