All of this ‘talk’ and little action IS dancing around Hamas….
The group IS STILL operating IN Gaza…
At least in part of it and is essentially daring the population ( with violence) to accept anyone else but them in control of the area…
The Trump Admin, amateur’s at this ?
They have no REAL workable solution to go forward….
Israel is warily watching on sidelines worried about Hamas in all this…
It IS NOT a Good Look…
The US is planning for the long-term division of Gaza into a “green zone” under Israeli and international military control, where reconstruction would start, and a “red zone” to be left in ruins.
Foreign forces will initially deploy alongside Israeli soldiers in the east of Gaza, leaving the devastated strip divided by the current Israeli-controlled “yellow line”, according to US military planning documents seen by the Guardian and sources briefed on American plans.
“Ideally you would want to make it all whole, right? But that’s aspirational,” said a US official, speaking on condition of anonymity. “It’s going to take some time. It’s not going to be easy.”
The US military plans raise serious questions about Washington’s commitment to turning the ceasefire announced last month into an enduring political settlement with Palestinian rule across Gaza, which was promised by Donald Trump.
Plans for Gaza’s future have been shifting at a dizzying rate, reflecting a chaotic, improvised approach to resolving one of the world’s most complex and intractable conflicts and providing aid including food and shelter to 2 million Palestinians.
After weeks in which the US promoted reconstruction in the form of fenced-in camps for small groups of Palestinians, referred to as “alternative safe communities” (ASC), those plans were dropped this week, the US official said.
“That’s a snapshot of a concept that was put forth at a certain time,” the US official said. “They’ve already moved on from that.”
Humanitarian organisations who have repeatedly raised major concerns about the ASC model said on Friday they had yet to be notified of the change of plans.
Without a workable plan for an international peacekeeping force, the withdrawal of Israeli troops, and large-scale rebuilding, Gaza risks slipping into limbo after two years of devastating war.
Mediators have warned of a situation that is “not war but not peace” in a divided Gaza, with regular Israeli attacks, an entrenched occupation, no Palestinian self-rule and limited reconstruction of Palestinian homes and communities….

Earlier this month, the US military regional Centcom command drew up plans to put European forces – including hundreds of British, French and German soldiers – at the core of the ISF, documents seen by the Guardian show….

One source described those plans as “delusional”. After long missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, very few European leaders would be willing to risk their soldiers’ lives in Gaza, although they have pledged other support. Only Italy has offered a potential troop contribution….

The need for reconstruction is urgent, with more than 80% of structures in Gaza damaged or destroyed in the war, including almost all schools and hospitals, according to UN data….

Israel on UN vote FOR a Palestine State….
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday vowed to oppose any attempt to establish a Palestinian state, a day before the U.N. Security Council will vote on a U.S.-drafted resolution on Gaza that leaves the door open to Palestinian independence.
Netanyahu has long ruled out Palestinian independence, asserting that creating a Palestinian state would reward Hamas and eventually lead to an even larger Hamas-run state on Israel’s borders. But as the U.S. attempts to push forward with its Gaza ceasefire proposal, he faces heavy international pressure to show flexibility….

Netanyahu’s hard-line governing partners have urged him to take a tough stand on the calls for Palestinian independence. Speaking to his Cabinet, Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel’s opposition to a Palestinian state has “not changed one bit.”…
