Washington’s opposition to Tel Aviv’s plan to create a buffer zone in Gaza

According to the report of Fars News Agency, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken stated during a press conference in the capital of Nigeria, Abuja, that Washington is against any permanent change in the geographic status of the Gaza Strip and that Washington’s position is on maintaining territorial integrity. Gaza is clear.

The Al Jazeera website wrote today Wednesday (January 24) that he added at the same time, “If the arrangements for the transfer and relocation of the residents of the Gaza Strip make it possible to resolve the conflict, the discussion It is another”. But Washington’s position of opposing any manipulation in the Gaza Strip is quite clear.

The New York Times previously reported, quoting Israeli officials, that Tel Aviv is seeking to destroy a large number of buildings in Gaza near the borders of occupied Palestine to create a safe zone and wants a zone to create a barrier with a length of one kilometer on the border of Gaza, and its purpose, according to the Zionist regime, is to prevent the repetition of attacks similar to the October 7 attack by the Palestinian resistance.

The expert and analyst of military and strategic issues, Fayez al-Daweiri, also said in an interview with Al-Jazeera a few weeks ago that the buffer zone that the Zionist regime seeks to create is a strip along the borders. It is 200 to 300 meters deep inside the residential areas, where the occupiers have been focusing on destroying these areas for some time.

On the other hand, the coordinator of strategic relations in the Security Council American national John Kirby also said in a press conference at the White House that his country’s position of “resolute opposition to any reduction in the area of ​​the Gaza Strip is quite clear” and that he has spoken with Israeli officials in this regard, both in public and private meetings. The United States does not approve of changing the borders of Gaza. However, America is against any role of Hamas and its leaders in any way in the post-war Gaza government.

Military and political analysts say that the beginning of movements to implement the safe zone plan in itself means the failure of ground military operations in Gaza. Because if Hamas was destroyed and Gaza was disarmed, there would be no need to speed up the implementation of the safe zone.
