After the new agreement, Israel will retain control over 58% of Gaza.
Axar.az informs this was reported by the Al Jazeera.
Israel currently controls more than 80 percent of Gaza’s 365sq km (141sq miles) area, including areas under forced evacuation orders or designated by Israel as military zones.
Once the deal is signed, fighting would be expected to end immediately, and Israeli forces would withdraw to the line marked in yellow.
The final map has not yet been published following negotiations in Egypt, but based on the October 4 map, the area inside the yellow line represents approximately 155sq km (60sq miles), leaving about 210sq km (81sq miles), or 58 percent of Gaza, under Israeli control, as verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad team.
Most notably, Israeli forces will remain in several previously populous Palestinian neighbourhoods, including:
- Beit Lahiya
- Beit Hanoon
- Parts of Gaza City’s Shujayea, Tuffah and Zeitoun
- More than half of the Khan Younis governorate
- Nearly all of the Rafah governorate
In addition, Israel will continue to control all crossings in and out of Gaza, including the Rafah crossing with Egypt.
