NEW | Israel’s “New Gaza Order”: Fortress Borders, Proxy Rule, and Engineered Despair
The Israeli +972 magazine reports that while Washington celebrates a “new peace,” Israel is quietly entrenching a permanent system of control and fragmentation in Gaza, marked by fortified borders, proxy militias, and a deliberate policy of despair.
Under the so-called “Yellow Line,” Gaza has been divided into two zones: West Gaza, where over two million Palestinians remain trapped under siege and bombardment; and East Gaza, now an emptied wasteland patrolled by the Israeli occupation army and allied armed groups.
Despite U.S. claims of stability, Israeli occupation forces continue daily strikes, killing hundreds since the ceasefire began, while building concrete barriers that suggest the division is here to stay.
Meanwhile, reports indicate Israel is planning a “New Rafah”, a fenced “safe zone” near Egypt, promoted as reconstruction but functioning as a controlled enclave for displaced Palestinians. Critics say this mirrors Israel’s broader goal: pushing Gaza’s population southward and eventually out of the Strip entirely.
In essence, what Israel and the Trump administration hail as peace is, in fact, a rebranded occupation, a system of engineered despair and demographic control, designed not to rebuild Gaza but to empty it.
