The Financial Times reported today that Israel is planning to establish experimental mini-concentration camps, or "bubbles," as part of an effort to replace Hamas in Gaza following the war on the strip.
According to the plan, the Israeli military would facilitate the entry of aid to Gaza from the nearby Western Erez crossing to vetted local Palestinians, who would then distribute the aid.
