Israel’s five-stage reoccupation of Gaza and south Lebanon, claiming a ‘buffer zone’: Marwan Bishara

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, examines Israel’s military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, which he describes as occupation rather than “buffer zones,” citing an Israeli general’s own terms for the plan. Bishara outlines a five-stage process: siege, assault, expulsion, destruction, and occupation, drawing parallels to previous Israeli occupations.
