Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak shared his thoughts on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Gaza plans, saying he believes that even “Witkoff and President Trump understand it’s not realistic”.

• Last week, Netanyahu revealed a new plan to divide Gaza as part of a strategy to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from the besieged enclave.

On Wednesday he announced the capture of an area that he referred to as the “Morag axis” in the southern Gaza Strip.

• The military has said its aim is to “encircle” Rafah.

According to Israeli Channel 12, the separation of Khan Younis and Rafah is part of the military’s plan to implement US President Donald Trump’s proposal to remove Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
