A report published Friday morning accuses the Israeli government of halting targeted killings, approving an international force before reconstruction, and establishing a green zone in Rafah for tens of thousands of Palestinians, while Hamas consolidates control in 30% of the Strip and rebuilds its military wing. The report also criticizes the US for rushing into general reconstruction without presenting alternatives, and says Israel stands by as Hamas exploits the weakness.
The report, published Friday morning, offers a sharp critique of the government's Gaza policy, listing several points of contention. It aligns with issues The Zioneer has previously covered: the US-led push for a reconstruction plan involving an international force (reported June 17), the IDF's control of about 70% of the Strip (June 23–24), and the establishment of a green civilian zone in Rafah. The report's central accusation is that Israel has halted targeted killings and approved an international force before reconstruction, allowing Hamas to consolidate in the remaining 30% of the territory. It also notes that the US is moving ahead without awaiting Israeli political decisions, and that Hamas is exploiting the perceived weakness.
