But Israeli forces are reinforcing the division with earthworks, fortifications, and barriers that suggest a move toward permanence. https://www.972mag.com/trump-israel-plan-divide-gaza/
What’s behind Israel’s new plan to divide Gaza in two While Trump hails "peace," Israel is entrenching a new regime of fortified borders, proxy rule, and engineered despair — with expulsion still the end goal. Analysis by @Muhammad Shehada. https://www.972mag.com/trump-israel-plan-divide-gaza/
