A report by the Financial Times revealed that the Israeli forces are working to create a buffer zone inside Gaza and demolish buildings near the border with "Israel".

A person familiar with the matter told FT that the goal is to "keep this area completely clean of any [resistance fighters] or infrastructure, rocket launchers, mortars . . . and to give us the freedom of operation in that space”."

Israeli officials refused to comment on how wide the buffer would be, but Amos Yadlin, former head of Israeli military intelligence, said he expected "Israel" would enforce a "perimeter" of 500 meters to 1km inside Gaza.

A recent report from Israeli N12 broadcaster revealed that "Israel" has demolished about 1,100 to establish a buffer zone inside Gaza.

Earlier reports by Reuters revealed that "Israel" informed multiple Arab countries of its intent to establish a buffer zone on the Palestinian side of the Gaza Strip border once the war comes to an end. The pretext for doing this is to prevent the repeat of resistance operations.

During his visit to Nigeria on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated his opposition to territorial changes in the Gaza Strip, adding that while he understands the need for what he claimed to be "temporary measures" to prevent an "October" 7 but said the administration opposes any change in territory.

Any incursion into the Gaza Strip, which is approximately 40 kilometers long and between five and 12 kilometers wide, would lead to the confinement of its population of 2.3 million people to a smaller area.

External pressure has been mounting on the Israeli regime to cease its genocidal campaign in Gaza, particularly in light of its failure to achieve its objectives of thwarting the resistance.

Earlier this month, summit talks in the Jordanian port city of Aqaba with the leaders of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and Jordanian monarch King Abdullah II were concluded with a "stern warning" against the establishment of buffer zones in Gaza.

The Arab leaders further emphasized that the Palestinian population deserves the right to return to their land and that the regime has no right to re-occupy parts of Gaza.
