Gaza’s ceasefire brought hope, but it was the calm before a brutal storm

 

"The plan to seize much of Gaza and “reorder its space in a more favourable way”, in the words of one Jerusalem-based expert who backs the military administration plan, also matches the thinking of the far right in Israel who see a chance now to at least partially empty Gaza of Palestinians. One way to do this is by making it unliveable and then finding some way to allow inhabitants to leave. There are military and political officials in Israel currently looking at ways of encouraging “legal immigration” – even if, given conditions in Gaza, any migration would almost certainly be illegal under international law."
