Humanitarian zones under fire in Gaza
The article concerns Israel’s attempts to reshape the governance of the Gaza Strip following the genocidal war that began in October 2023. This is being pursued through the introduction of limited, multinational forces with restricted authority into humanitarian zones under limited international supervision, while maintaining security and military control in the hands of the Israeli army. The plan aims to separate humanitarian operations from military control by deploying international forces to manage specific areas, without implying a complete Israeli withdrawal from the territory—an approach that contradicts the positions of the international community, especially amid Israel’s expanding presence within Gaza, where control has increased from 53% to about 70% of the area. This expansion occurs amid deteriorating humanitarian conditions and rising numbers of casualties. Within the Israeli government, there is a divide over the future of Gaza: some advocate for continued military control and settlement expansion, while others call for calm and transitional arrangements. Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces continue to breach ceasefire agreements and expand settlements, as the number of martyrs and destruction rises. This indicates that the future of the sector is more dependent on the relative military balance on the ground than on any political arrangements.
