Can the people of Gaza just get some food and an election?

Wonder how that election will go after Israel directly killed 23,000 people with indiscriminate murders and bombings.

I would expect them to keep security control the same way Nazists were keeping security control around the Warsaw ghetto.

So Israel is setting up a ghetto? Cool, cool

It already was. They're just talking about annexing it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Yoav Gallant revealed the plan to media on Thursday before a visit by Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, and after growing pressure from the US for Israel to make proposals for postwar scenarios.

Under Gallant’s plan, which is not official policy and has yet to be submitted to other ministers, Israel’s offensive in Gaza would continue until hostages taken on 7 October were freed and Hamas’s “military and governing capabilities” dismantled.

Then, the outline says, a new phase would begin during which “Hamas will not control Gaza and will not pose a security threat to the citizens of Israel”, with unspecified Palestinian bodies – apparently local civil servants or communal leaders – assuming the territory’s governance.

Earlier this week, Israeli media reported that military and intelligence officials favoured dividing Gaza into regions and sub-regions, with civil administration and the distribution of humanitarian aid in each area entrusted to local leaders seen as trustworthy.

Health officials in Gaza said Israeli shelling on Thursday killed more than 20 Palestinians, including 16 in Khan Younis, a city in a southern coastal area packed with people who had fled from other parts of the territory.

Gallant’s statement said that in the north, Israeli forces would shift to a “new combat approach” in northern Gaza, which would emphasise raids, destruction of tunnels, “air and ground activities and special operations”.
