U.S. Faces Pushback from Donor Countries over Plan to Build Residential Regions East of Yellow Line
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - The U.S. has proposed constructing six residential regions in the eastern half of Gaza in an area currently under Israeli control, two Arab diplomats said. However, an International Stabilization Force (ISF) must first be established, along with the disarmament of Hamas, which has shown no interest in giving up its weapons. While the U.S. proposal envisions as many as one million Palestinians moving to the residential areas on the Israel-held side of the Yellow Line within two years, the two diplomats found the benchmark highly unrealistic. "Palestinians may not want to live under the rule of Hamas, but the idea that they'll be willing to move to live under Israeli...control... is fantastical," one diplomat said.
