Emerging plans for Gaza by Israel include the creation of geographical 'bubbles' where Palestinian civilians unconnected to Hamas can live while the Israeli military continues operations. These 'bubbles' or 'islands' are part of a broader strategy to manage the Gaza Strip post-war, with discussions also considering Arab coalitions. The plans, presented by Yoav Gallant, have raised concerns about the indefinite confinement of Palestinian civilians to smaller areas of Gaza while fighting persists outside.

People in Washington are understandably desperate to find someone in the Israeli government with a "day-after" plan for Gaza, but that means they end up doing a lot of suspension of disbelief when Yoav Gallant presents a plan that seems rather unrealistic https://t.co/BFLBJHvieM
