Israel has a post-war plan for Gaza. The idea that there is no plan is a serious misconception. I wish it weren't so, that there really is no plan. Far from global attention and the eyes of the Israeli public, the implementation of the next phase of Israel's phased strategy is well underway.
With the genocide unfolding and the Gaza Strip almost completely destroyed, Israel is moving decisively towards the next phase of the plan, which aims to render the population of Gaza permanently disabled, wounded, sick, hungry, homeless and unemployed.
When the population of Gaza is reduced to a mass without a common denominator, without an organized society, without basic services and institutions, and, of course, without leadership, complete disintegration will facilitate the transition to the next phase, which has never been abandoned, the phase of expulsion. Only then will the problem of Gaza be finally solved. Only in this way.
A clear echo of that plan could be heard last week in a statement by two of its architects and executors: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his “directive” was to expand the area of the Strip under Israeli control from 60 to 70 percent.
Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote on X: “We have sworn that Hamas will not rule Gaza, either civilian or military, and so it will be. The voluntary migration plan will also be implemented, all at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner.” In other words, the Gazans will be turned into a “herd” that will be easily transported away “at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner.” After all, order must be maintained.
“Eradicating the Hamas regime” in Gaza is not just about that goal. Since Israel has categorically opposed Gaza being governed by a Palestinian body - neither the Palestinian Authority nor an international organization, and has no intention of governing the Strip itself - it is clear what is at stake: Israel does not want any organization to govern Gaza. It wants two million people in tents. That way, it will be easier to expel them.
When Katz says that Hamas will not lead the civilian administration of Gaza, he knows very well that there is no one besides Hamas - and there will be no one for the foreseeable future - to govern. At this point, the only alternative to Hamas' civilian administration is anarchy. And chaos is good for Israel and the realization of its plan.
Israeli propaganda can continue to shout that Gaza is the same as Hamas, and that Hamas is the same as terrorists. This is, of course, a lie. Not only is not everyone from Gaza in Hamas, but not every person who is defined as Hamas is a terrorist. Israel knows very well that the tens of thousands of teachers, doctors, police officers, and civil servants who receive salaries from the Hamas government are not terrorists. But defining them that way has allowed it to kill thousands of people as “terrorists.” Traffic cops, accountants, and teachers are not terrorists, and killing them is unacceptable. It was and remains a war crime. They are not terrorists, nor are they journalists whose press credentials are issued by Hamas. They may be propagandists, as are many Israeli journalists, but they are not terrorists.
Israel has killed two birds with one stone: it has gained legitimacy, albeit a false one, to kill whomever it wants and has implemented another phase of its plan. No society can function without teachers, doctors, social workers, engineers, and civil servants, and without a functioning society it will be easy to expel the inhabitants of Gaza to the four corners of the world.
The final episode of Tucker Carlson's political series aired on Thursday - a two-hour interview with Dr. Nick Maynard, a British surgeon who studied at Oxford and occasionally volunteered in Gaza for 17 years. The horrors he saw and described there are jaw-dropping: corpses with their hands in handcuffs, teenagers shot in the testicles, babies who starved to death, premature babies left in incubators when a hospital was evacuated on orders from the Israel Defense Forces and found dead weeks later.
Every Israeli, every human being in the world must see or hear that interview. All these horrors had one goal: the Israeli “solution” to the problem called Gaza.
