Leaked Plan: Israel wants to divide Gaza into three zones
According to Sunday Times sources, the plan will be put into action unless an agreement on ceasefire is reached with Hamas in the coming days. The statements should be viewed in the light of several circumstances:
● Israel has in recent days intensified their air attacks Against Gaza with the result of at least 200 lost life.
● This week bombed Israel the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, which aroused disgust and condemnations around the world. Israel claimed that the goal was the designated Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar, who has now been confirmed dead in a tunnel south of the city, unclear how close the hospital.
● At the same time, Defense Minister Israel Katz claims that the negotiations between Israel and Hamas that have been more or less stranded this week. According to him, Hamas has backed away from his demands for a permanent ceasefire and can now imagine discussing a ceasefire of 60 days and release of nine out of hostage. This sees Katz as a success for the ongoing operation aimed at re -occupying Gaza.
« It is obvious that Israel will continue to escalate the conflict as long as the EU does not put enough pressure on them to quit, » says Michael Schulz, professor of peace and conflict research at the University of Gothenburg.
The map shows four Israeli military zones in the northern, middle and southern part of the Gaza Strip, with three civilian areas in between. A corridor will be built north of Khan Yunis, with the existing Netzari corridor south of Gaza City as a role model. According to Sunday Times sources, the area will be leveled with the ground using Bulldozers. It will then separate the civilian parts north of Rafah and south of the Netzari corridor.
Of The map It is also clear that Israel intends to expand the buffer zone between Gaza and Israel. You have also drawn a dozen different places that are assumed to be distribution centers of the assistance that Israel wants to take control of – An arrangement that has been very harshly criticized by all international aid bodies and several world leaders.
According to the Sunday Times, the map has been leaked by diplomats and there may be several reasons for the leak.
– There may be reasons to scare Hamas, which would benefit Israel. But there may also be reasons why you want to show the outside world, to the extent that it hesitates that Israel is serious. It could disadvantage Israel, says Michael Schulz.
In both cases, the confirmed dead, designated Hamas leader, will be used as a game tray. Israel will say that the body was found near the bombed hospital that has now been taken out of use, Hamas will have another version.
– However, it is difficult to get around that you must not bomb anyway, says Michael Schulz.
Mohammed Sinwar was One in five people who knew and planned Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, according to terrorist expert Magnus Ranstorp who researched Hamas. It was also Mohammed Sinwar who negotiated his brother Yahya and a thousand other Palestinians from Israel’s captivity in an exchange for an Israeli soldier in 2011 writes TT.
– He was deeply involved in the military branch and has been an important person, Ranstorp told the news agency.
Deputy President JD Vance is on his way to Israel.
– It remains to be seen how the United States chooses to act. It may be enough that they threaten not to send more money to Israel, it has done so before. Israel does not want to get rid of its most important ally, says Michael Schulz and continues:
– But what the Trump administration lands in is not known. If you do nothing, Israel will continue bombing and demand that Hamas surrender. The right -wing extremist government is stuck in the worldview that the outside world is only becoming more and more anti -Semitic.
