Crazy, it's like they're running a genocide there or something

The buffer will not occupy 50% of Gaza. The rest of the control is supposedly temporary.

I understand having a buffer like Berlin used to but in this case is it perhaps mainly destructive theatre? I am suspicious that a lack of buffer will be used to excuse the lax vigilance by Israel on Oct 7 once investigations begin.
