Artikkel i Haaretz om Netanyahus planer for Nord-Gaza, der det gis konkrete eksempler på infrastruktur som bygges i Netzarim-korridoren.
Og kommentarer fra den sparkede forsvarsminister Gallant om at der er ikke mer å ofre IDF¨-soldater for i Gaza.
Men der Netanyahu er motsetter seg en løsning, han er gissel av sine samarbeidspartier på høyresiden som motsetter seg våpenhvile.

Ny artikkel i Haaretz som dokumenterer omfattende infratruktur¨-arbeid slik at okkupasjonen kan vare ut 2025:

Netanyahu Pushes on With Occupying Gaza, but Trump May Force a Change in the War
As Israel lays the infrastructure for a creeping occupation of northern Gaza and plans its next step in Lebanon, it's waiting to see if Biden gets tough in his last two months with stingier arms supplies and a possible harder line at the UN Security Council

Donald Trump's election as U.S. president last week seems to have the best chance to shake things up in the Middle East and maybe extract Israel from its long war of attrition on multiple fronts.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is feeling confident that he can harness Trump and further his own goals, as happened in the past. But since the 45th president's big victory on Tuesday, Trump has been sending hard-to-decipher messages, as usual. Things may only become clearer when he enters the White House on January 20.
Meanwhile,
the Biden administration is considering harsh moves against Israel
during the transition period, including tighter restrictions on arms
supplies and a possible failure to veto anti-Israel resolutions at the
UN Security Council.
After Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant last week,
the retired general told the truth to the hostage families in a
farewell meeting with them. He said that conditions were ripe for a deal
and that there was no security or diplomatic justification for Israel
to stay in the Philadelphi corridor on the Egypt-Gaza border.
"There is nothing left to do in Gaza. We've already accomplished the major achievements," Gallant told them, adding that he feared that Netanyahu's refusal to withdraw Israeli forces "comes from a desire to remain there. This isn't a worthy purpose for risking soldiers' lives."
In fact, the picture is even bleaker: The government has no interest in a hostage deal. The far right of the governing coalition opposes the freeing of any Palestinian prisoners, and Netanyahu is completely dependent on the hard right for his political survival, as he keeps trying to postpone his testimony in his corruption trial.

On the other hand, tremendous effort is being put into preparations for long-term control of northern Gaza, which the right seeks to parlay into a full-fledged occupation and the building of settlements.
Last week, Haaretz reported on moves designed to push the entire Palestinian population out of the northern quarter of the Gaza Strip. Over the weekend, Yedioth Ahronoth reporter Yoav Zitun described his impressions from a visit to the east-west Netzarim corridor south of there: The width of this strip that the Israel Defense Forces created during the war has expanded to 7 kilometers (4.3 miles).
The army is putting up outposts there suitable for a permanent presence and is installing water systems and gear for cellular reception. Zitun predicts that "after another 20 or 30 hostages die in captivity, no Israeli leadership will give Hamas the prize in return": a corridor bisecting the Strip "that was initially meant to be a bargaining chip."
Meanwhile, Netanyahu has tapped Yechiel Leiter, his former chief of staff, to be Israel's ambassador to the United States. Leiter is a member of the settlers' ideological wing (and his son Moshe, a reservist deputy battalion commander in the Paratroopers Brigade, was killed in action last year in northern Gaza).
This appointment gives an indication of the prime minister's ambition to win U.S. recognition of an annexation of the West Bank settlements (which he failed to obtain in Trump's 2020 "deal of the century"). Netanyahu also seems to be angling for a creeping occupation of northern Gaza. The basis for this is already being laid.
