"Israel's Plan for Palestinian-Run Pockets in Post-Hamas Gaza"
Israel is planning to establish "humanitarian pockets" in Gaza, managed by Palestinians not affiliated with Hamas or the Palestinian Authority, in an effort to administer civilian affairs in post-war Gaza. Hamas has criticized the plan, calling it an Israeli reoccupation of Gaza and predicting its failure. The Israeli official behind the plan stated that it would be implemented in areas from which Hamas has been expelled, and would require the destruction of Hamas for success. The Palestinian Authority has been barred from participating due to its failure to condemn an October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
