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. These vetted individuals would gradually assume civilian governance over these mini-concentration camps while Israeli forces maintained military control.
However, a source involved in postwar Gaza planning mentioned that Israel has struggled to find Palestinians willing to collaborate with the occupying forces since November.
Video footage shows Israeli forces in Gaza writing slurs on the walls of a home before setting it on fire.
