Israel 'plans to turn Rafah into a buffer zone' | Middle East Eye (2025-04-09)

“The Israeli military plans to turn #Rafah, a densely populated Palestinian city in the southern Gaza Strip, into a buffer zone, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.”
“‘According to defense sources, it has yet to be decided whether the entire area will simply be designated a buffer zone that is off-limits to civilians - as has been done in other parts of the border area - or whether the area will be fully cleared and all buildings demolished, effectively wiping out the city of Rafah,’ Haaretz reported.”
“According to defence sources that spoke to Haaretz, the move aims to leave the Gaza Strip an enclave surrounded by Israeli territory, separating it from Egypt.”

Those discussions have been underway for weeks, & they center, in part, on a section of border in #NewMexico…. In effect, the move would turn the #BufferZone into an expansive satellite #MilitaryInstallation, potentially allowing a greater portion of the #Defense Dept’s mammoth budget to pay for #Trump’s border crackdown while creating new legal jeopardy for those caught trying to slip into the country from Mexico.
#Trump team makes plans for #military to hold migrants at border

Ukraine’s buffer zone in #Kursk Oblast – here’s what you need to know
What is a #BufferZone?
In a military sense, a buffer zone is traditionally an area of land established between two opposing forces with the aim of reducing the chances of armed confrontation.
An infamous example is the Korean Demilitarized Zone (KDZ) separating North Korea from South Korea since 1953, one of the most heavily guarded and mined pieces of land on the planet.
