Withdrawal from Gaza: Who Will Protect the Envelope Residents from the Lies of the Israeli Government?
An opinion column on Walla claims that the Israeli government declares security but in practice prepares for a withdrawal from Gaza, against the backdrop of reports of a possible withdrawal. The author describes the return of life to the Gaza envelope, but emphasizes that a breach in the fence at Kibbutz Zikim exposed the fragility of security. He criticizes the government's 'culture of lies,' including a policy of 'containment' and defining lethal fire as 'trickle,' and compares it to the policy before October 7. He calls for giving residents a 'red line' regarding lies and demanding the truth.
An opinion column on Walla claims that the Israeli government declares security but in practice prepares for a withdrawal from Gaza, against the backdrop of reports of a possible IDF withdrawal from the security zone. The author describes the return of life to the Gaza envelope, including a growing demand for apartments, but emphasizes that the overnight incident at Kibbutz Zikim, where the fence was breached, exposed the fragility of security. He argues that without near-absolute security, the area cannot be rehabilitated, and that the problem is not distance but the government's 'culture of lies,' which includes a policy of 'containment' and defining lethal fire as 'trickle.' The author compares the current policy to that before October 7 and accuses politicians of lying. He calls for giving residents a 'red line' regarding lies and demands to hear the truth. The column ends with the question of whether the government is capable of that.
