Last night #Israel's #Netanyahu showcases a map outlining the annexation of the occupied #WestBank, and a similar fate awaiting #Gaza. The @CIJ_ICJ determined Israel's presence in #Palestinian territory to be unlawful, an act of aggression that must end. Israel must be induced to comply.
The assertion that #Israel will maintain alien rule over #Palestinians is matched by an inflammatory battle cry on settlers' social media, targeting the few Israelis in solidarity with Palestinians: "On the path to expel or annihilate all enemies, foreign and domestic."
This is the #Israeli 'Partition Plan' for #Gaza: 1/3. Gaza City (in yellow) will be left in ruins and uninhibited, to its north permanently acquired territory settled by Israel, to its south the Netzarim Corridor, an impassable barrier and "humanitarian hub."
2/3 Central Gaza (including Deir al Balah and Khan Yunis will remain under Israeli control with a permanent military presence (with a possible "local civil administration"). To its south, the Sufa Corridor leads to Al Mawasi, another "humanitarian hub," eventually replaced by re-established Israeli settlements.
3/3 Rafah in the southern Gaza will be put under permanent Israeli military presence, separated from central Gaza and Egypt by a kilometers-deep parameter all along the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu opened the floodgates, and additional maps appear - curving out #Gaza - for #Israeli permanent acquisition of territory. The paradoxical reaction to the @CIJ_ICJ Advisory Opinion calling on Israel to withdraw unconditionally and rapidly from occupied #Palestinian territory of Gaza and the West Bank is to recall a vision of Israel extending to the East Bank of the Jordan River and all the way to Iraq.
