Israel has announced plans to significantly alter the Gaza Strip's landscape and governance. The initiative includes transforming Gaza into a demilitarized entity, resembling Singapore, with a focus on tourism and technology investments, primarily from the UAE. This plan involves creating a buffer zone, reducing Gaza's land area by 16%, through the demolition of Palestinian homes, schools, and farmland. A half-mile wide buffer zone will be established alongside Gaza's border with Israel, featuring an 800-meter wide area where Palestinians will be prohibited. Additionally, a four-mile road will divide the enclave, with the area being fully detached from Israel and linked to the world through a sea route to Cyprus and a land passage to Egypt, under Israeli monitoring. The local government will be supervised by an international body.

Israel plan for Gaza going forward. They’re creating a half mile wide buffer zone that will reduce land area by 16%, demolishing everything in the way. Also, a four-mile road that will split the enclave in too. Harsh but necessary. https://t.co/8MEUyjhPPX
