47. You're making a lot of big assumptions here.

Regev said there would be "a buffer zone" and from that you're leaping to the conclusion that it'll be as far south as Wadi Gaza. That's just an assumption, though.

"A buffer zone" could very easily mean a no man's land style strip between an interior fence in Gaza and a fence on the Israeli side of the border, something akin to the Berlin Wall.

It's hard to blame them for taking this approach after 10/7. A buffer zone/no man's land between two fences, with IDF monitoring and patrolling the Israeli side, is what I'm guessing they're envisioning here to prevent another incursion.

But if you want to continue assuming Israel's going to turn half of the Gaza Strip into this buffer zone, I certainly can't stop you.
