NETANYAHUāS BOLD Blueprint for Gaza: IDF Dominance and Total Demilitarization
ā Netanyahu has recently disclosed his strategic blueprint for Gaza. The plan ensures that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will supervise Gazaās borders, thereby ensuring an unhindered operation to suppress terrorism within the region.
The strategy also advocates for a comprehensive demilitarization of the Gaza Strip from a Palestinian standpoint, leaving only a civilian police force operational. A proposed kilometer-wide buffer zone within Gaza is also part of the plan, acting as a defensive shield for Israeli border communities that were targeted by Hamas last October.
While Netanyahuās blueprint does not explicitly exclude a role for the Palestinian Authority (PA) or propose a Palestinian state, it leaves these contentious matters undefined. This strategic ambiguity seems to be designed to balance demands from both the Biden administration and Netanyahuās right-leaning coalition partners.
