A long-term or permanent Israeli military occupation of parts of Gaza could also lead to the re-establishment of Jewish settlements in the Strip, something settler leaders and some officials in the Israeli government have made clear they want.
Gaza has already effectively been divided into two, with Israel controlling about 58% of the territory, and Hamas has re-established control in the areas the IDF withdrew from.
Satellite imagery analysis by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking agency Sanad shows that the Israeli army holds about 40 active military positions in the part of the Gaza Strip outside the yellow line, the invisible boundary established under the first phase of the ceasefire to which its troops had to move, according to the deal.
The images also show that Israel is upgrading several of these facilities, which help it maintain its occupation of 58 percent of Gaza even after the pullback by troops to the yellow line.
You know there are two Palestinian countries. Don’t let Hamas lie to you other wise.
One is Jordan. It is over 4x larger than Israel. The land is the same swath with Israel. It has 6.2 million Palestinians. The Hashimites treat them like crap. Palestinians are 60% of the population.
Two is Gaza. This begs the real question what about the West Bank. Tell me why should Israel go back to the 1967 borders? If those borders meant so much why was there a war against Israel to change them?
As for how Hamas governed Gaza with 10k plus missiles fired into Israel, you have to ask yourself if 5 missiles were launched into Corpus Christie would the US wait 17 years and 10k more missiles to go to war?
The pro Palestinian movement here would want blood if 5 missiles were launched at the US. You are asking far more than you have a right to ask.
It would be nice if people looked in the mirror at the Hague.
But buttercup, you are asking me?
Yes, think for a moment about the majority of Jews in Israel. Their group is Sephardic. During the rise of the Muslim empires until the fall of the Ottoman Empire Jews went monthly to town and city centers to pay protection money to be allowed to be Jewish. Or because they were Jewish, they might be slaughtered.
Black September got its name when they were kicked out of Jordan in September 1970…
The Black September Organization was a Palestinian militant organization, which was founded in September 1970. Besides other actions, the group was responsible for the assassination of the Jordanian Prime Minister Wasfi Tal, and the Munich massacre, in which eleven Israeli athletes and officials were kidnapped and killed, as well as a West German policeman dying, during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, their most publicized event.
Netanyahu is engaged in putting the final touch in Gaza.
The US & UK wish to move on. The US government has arrested and deported pro Palestine supporters who are in the US on student visas.
European & UK citizens unite to protest Israel doings in Gaza.

Palestine Action protest latest: Met Police make 493 arrests after demonstrators defy calls to cancel
It gets nasty when English citizens defy their betters.
France led the charge for governments to recognize Palestinian statehood at the U.N. General Assembly on Monday. But growing protests around the continent show that people want more.
The above protest occurred in France.
As a fragile truce in Gaza holds, attention is turning to who will govern the devastated enclave. US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan envisions a temporary technocratic committee overseen by an international “Board of Peace”, with the Palestinian Authority reclaiming control later – a vision critics say sidelines many Gazans and revives echoes of colonial rule.
