Israel has been using those ISIS-linked gangs to indirectly maintain its starvation of Gaza & to outsource other dirty work to them
Every time the world pressures Israel to allow aid into Gaza, Israel unleashes those gangs in Rafah & Khan Younis to loot all the aid going in, so that the IDF can claim "look we're letting food in, it's not our fault people are starving"
Israel has also been using those criminal gangs to carry out activities the IDF deems dangerous for its soldiers (e.g. sweeping areas, inspecting boobytrapped neighbourhoods, recon missions, surveillance, espionage, protect GHF facilities & interact with aid seekers).
And now, Israel is using those gangs to establish concentration camps with a "Palestinian face" to bait & lure starving Gazans to move to Eastern Rafah (Egypt's borders) with a promise of safety & food. Gazans wouldn't trust to live in such a camp surrounded by IDF soldiers, so Israel created this new puppet "security force" out of the criminal gangs to run those camps instead.

What's next for Gaza? 🧵
After the hostage release, Israel will hold onto a fully depopulated 58% of Gaza.
After an international force enters, Israel will hold onto 40% of Gaza where the IDF's proxy gangs will thrive!
Genocide or reconstruction? The devil is in the details!
2\ Right now, the 58% beyond the yellow line is not only under IDF control, it's fully depopulated. Any Gaza civilian that tries to enter is shot on sight. Israel killed 35 Gazans in the first 24 hours of the ceasefire.
Israel is planning to hold onto those areas for a long time
3\ Israel's proxy gangs (e.g. Abu Shabab, Husam al-Astal, Ashraf Mansi) are all currently hiding in the 58% of Gaza the IDF is stationed in
Israel cultivated those gangs to create "gated communities" (concentration camps) to push Gazans into.
Now with the ceasefire, Israel is using those gangs to launch attacks on Hamas deep inside Gaza without the IDF having to invade.
This is Israel's way of saying "we're not violating the ceasefire, it's Palestinians killing Palestinians."
Israel will also try to get Gazans to move into those areas with promises of a better life while the other half of Gaza remains reduced to rubble. kan.org.il/content/kan-ne…
This plan is significantly better than previous Trump proposals (e.g. no ethnic cleansing, abolishing GHF, no occupation or annexation, decommissioning not disarmament...)
Yet it's filled with negatives, explosive mines & loopholes that'd allow Netanyahu to occupy Gaza forever🧵
2\ Positives:
The infamous GHF would be abolished since the plan says aid will only be distributed by groups "not associated in any manner with either party" (GHF is an IDF front).
Full suspension of "all military operations" (e.g. bombing) & immediate end to the war
3\ Trump's plan now talks about decommissioning instead of disarmament. There's a major difference; the latter connotes surrender, whereas decommissioning is gradual, tied to a political process & includes reintegration of militants into security sector ecfr.eu/article/decomm…
The US & Israel are the ones who asked Qatar to host Hamas' political (NOT military) leadership to maintain indirect dialogue with them
When Qatar asked Hamas' leadership to leave in Nov 2024 & suspended their office in Doha, Trump asked them to reopen it again & re-host Hamas🧵
2\ Netanyahu just broke this arrangement & bombed Doha to target Hamas negotiators in the midst of their discussion of Trump's latest ceasefire proposal
In March 2025, Netanyahu killed Hamas entire negotiating team in Gaza (e.g. Salah Bardawil, Essam Da'alees, Ismael Barhoum, Abu Obaida al-Jimassi)
3\ Netanyahu killed Hamas' negotiating team inside Gaza in March 2025 while they were discussing Witkoff's proposal to extend the ceasefire
Similarly, Israel killed Hamas' top negotiator Ismael Haniya in July 2024 right after he accepted Biden's ceasefire/prisoner swap proposal
