Buffer zone on the border with the Gaza Strip: Israel reported plans
Details
Israel has notified the Arab countries of its intention to establish a buffer zone on the border with the Gaza Strip to prevent possible attacks. According to Reuters.
According to the agency, Israel shared this information with Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Turkey also received a notification from Israel.
«Israel seeks to create a buffer zone between the Gaza Strip and its territory to prevent incursions and attacks by Hamas and other militants», a representative of the security services of a regional country.
Also, plans to create a buffer zone are confirmed by The Times of Israel by an anonymous Israeli official.
«This is a security measure, not a political measure. We do not intend to stay on the Gaza side of the border»
According to him, discussions are underway in Israel on «how we want to see Gaza after the war ends». According to the IDF, the creation of a buffer zone will prevent Hamas from building «military potential near the border and again surprise Israel».
Recall: In early November, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that after the cessation of hostilities, Israel should assume responsibility for security in the Gaza Strip for an "indefinite period". " When we are responsible for security, we prevent Hamas from unleashing terror on a scale unimaginable," he said.
