Despite its ongoing war on Gaza, Israel is facing widespread criticism for lacking a coherent post-war plan, according to a recent article in Middle East Monitor. While Tel Aviv continues its bloody campaign, international media reports suggest that the Israeli government is struggling to articulate a clear vision for the future of the Gaza Strip and its inhabitants.

Even Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who is facing potential charges at the International Criminal Court, has admitted that Israel has no post-war strategy. Despite his repeated pleas for a plan, the Israeli Cabinet has remained silent. Furthermore, experts like former Prime Minister Ehud Barak have warned that Israel risks sinking into a “moral abyss” if it continues the war indefinitely.

Adding fuel to the fire, leaked plans reveal a disturbing picture of Israel’s intentions. Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a key figure in Netanyahu’s government, has outlined a plan to seize more Palestinian land in the West Bank, expand illegal settlements, and prevent the creation of a viable Palestinian state. Meanwhile, a separate strategy for Gaza involves the appointment of a “governor,” Brigadier General Elad Goren, to oversee the region. This plan allegedly aims to drive the population of northern Gaza south, ultimately annexing the region and allowing the return of Jewish settlers.

These plans have been met with widespread condemnation, as they are viewed as a continuation of Israel’s decades-long campaign of oppression against the Palestinian people. The article points out that Israeli schemes, both old and new, consistently involve violence, displacement, and the denial of Palestinian rights. The author, Ramzy Baroud, argues that the world should recognize the true nature of the Israeli war – a war against the very existence of the Palestinian people.

Despite the international condemnation, it remains to be seen whether the Israeli government will ultimately abandon its current course and adopt a more humane approach towards the Palestinians. For now, the future of Gaza and its people hangs in the balance, as Israel continues to wage its war with seemingly no end in sight.
