Reuters writes about this on December 3. According to the agency’s interlocutors, Israel informed its neighbors Egypt and Jordan, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Turkey, about its plans.
Israel wants a buffer zone between Gaza and Israel to prevent Hamas or other militants from infiltrating and attacking Israel, a senior security official in one of the region’s countries has said.
Plans to create a buffer zone inside the Gaza Strip were confirmed by an Israeli official to The Times of Israel.
This is a security measure, not a political measure. We do not intend to remain on the border from the Gaza Strip,” the source said.
According to him, there are discussions in Israel about “what we want the Gaza Strip to be like when the war is over.” The creation of a buffer zone, according to the IDF, will prevent Hamas from creating “military capabilities close to the border and surprising Israel again.”
In early November, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel should take care of security in the Gaza Strip for an “indefinite period” after the end of hostilities.
When we are not responsible for security, all we have is a surge in Hamas terror on a scale we could never imagine,” he said.
US President Joe Biden said that the Hamas movement must be completely destroyed, but, in his opinion, Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip was a big mistake.
