Israel plans to create a buffer zone in Gaza to ensure regional security
Reuters reported that Israel has put forth a comprehensive plan aimed at establishing a buffer zone in the Palestinian territories.
With Egyptian and regional sources, the report said it aims to demilitarize the Gaza Strip and safeguard against potential extremist threats targeting Israel in the future.
According to the information gathered, Israel has communicated its intentions to various Arab nations, including non-Arab nation Turkey. The proposed buffer zone, if implemented, would stretch from north to south in the Palestinian region.
An anonymous source among the three individuals familiar with the matter stated, "Israel aims to institute this buffer zone as a protective barrier, preventing entities like Hamas or other extremist groups from infiltrating or launching attacks against Israel."
Ophir Falk, a foreign policy adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, indicated to Reuters that "the establishment of a buffer zone could form part of the broader strategy to demilitarize the coastal strip."
The countries reportedly informed about this plan include Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Turkey. The proposal aims to foster regional stability and prevent potential security threats emanating from the Gaza Strip.
