About our Netzarim Corridor news
Latest news on the Netzarim Corridor, featuring in-depth coverage of the Israeli army's construction of a strategic corridor through Gaza City. This development marks a significant shift in the region's dynamics, with the new Highway 749 stretching across the Gaza strip south of Gaza City, creating a 1-kilometer buffer zone on both sides. The project, led by Israel's reserve Engineering Corps, Unit 601, involves extensive demolition, including the Turkish Hospital, Al-Aqsa University's campus, and the villages of Mughraqa and Juhor al-Dik, along with the destruction of Nour and Shams amusement parks and vast agricultural lands.
The corridor, running through the erstwhile Netzarim Settlement evacuated in 2005, is poised to alter the landscape of Gaza, facilitating Israeli military incursions and hindering the movement of Palestinians from south to north. This move has raised concerns about the long-term Israeli presence in Gaza, as it could prevent the return of one million Palestinians expelled from Gaza City. The Israeli government, under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserts the corridor is essential for security control and conducting raids within Gaza, signaling a preparation for prolonged engagement in the enclave.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with the ongoing conflict exacerbating humanitarian crises and international calls for a resolution that ensures the safety and security of all parties involved.
