What Israel began in Gaza is spreading to Palestinians everywhere
Israel treats Gaza as a war, the West Bank as a security dispute, and the weeks-long withholding of a Palestinian body as a procedural issue, compartmentalizing Palestinians in ways that obscure the broader project connecting them
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel rejects the 15-point Gaza framework proposed by the Board of Peace. However, the actions on the ground may suggest otherwise. Despite its public stance, Israel appears to be implementing the 15-point agreement. The military has refrained from targeted killings since Monday evening and has maintained the ceasefire. The IDF is also positioned along the original Yellow Line, which covers around 53% of Gaza, with no forces deployed beyond.
The issue of Gaza's reconstruction, however, presents a more complex picture. Israel has unequivocally stated that there will be no reconstruction of Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed. Yet, the activities currently taking place in the Rafah area, under Israeli control, seem to align with the Board of Peace's distinction between temporary infrastructure and permanent reconstruction.
This temporary deployment requires initial infrastructure work, which seems to be consistent with the framework's guidelines. This discrepancy between public messaging and actual implementation creates a noticeable gap, highlighting the complexity of the situation.
