Israel to control 70% of Gaza, shrinking Palestinian living space

Israel currently controls about 60% of the Gaza Strip. Now, it plans to expand that area to 70%. The move will widen what is effectively a "yellow line" – a buffer zone or restricted area – further reducing the available living space for Palestinians. The expansion is expected to tighten Israel's grip on the territory and limit where Palestinians can reside or rebuild. No official timeline for the plan has been announced.
