New terms on Israeli control in Gaza risk alienating the very Arab and Muslim nations the pact depends on, analysts warn
Analysts say the “principles for peace” deal, unveiled on Monday, risks alienating the very Arab and Muslim nations the pact depends on – by allowing Israeli forces to occupy most of Gaza indefinitely unless Palestinian militant groups are fully disarmed to Israel’s satisfaction.
At the centre of the controversy is the insertion of new terms, reportedly at Netanyahu’s insistence, that would leave more than half the enclave under Israeli military control until an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) can secure pacified zones and begin dismantling Hamas and other militant groups.
