“Even under optimistic scenarios for the pace of physical reconstruction, the scale of destruction in Gaza has been such that, simply from the narrow perspective of moving in building materials, it would still take until 2040 and probably longer to restore the housing units destroyed since the start of the war,” the researchers concluded.
Article explains the reasoning. They chose the metric of moving building materials into devastated areas
Israel: “Oh that’s too bad, I guess the Gazans should all just move away. Temporarily. For humanitarian reasons. They can move back 16 years from now.” wink
Not sure why they’d publish this, Israel is 100% going to take the land that was bombed and leave them with an even smaller parcel than before. The homes that are rebuilt will be Israel’s homes.
Taking the land is obviously their goal, but can Israel accomplish this?
They have yet to secure north Gaza. Hamas is still killing invaders with Yasin RPG and they are still launching bathtub rockets into Israel.
The economic clock is ticking, Israel is taking significant economic damage by having such a huge fraction of their workforce be unavailable. It’s not just the conscripted soldiers, it’s the large civilian population that temporarily fled homes in both the south and north of Israel.
Also the international situation is a wildcard. Without western support, Israel’s only option will be retreat.
Because let’s be real here, Israel isn’t gonna let any Palestinians stay there and the US won’t dare not give them money thanks to evangelical death cultists.
I have a definite option to get UK citizenship and we think my brother and I also qualify for German citizenship due to a technicality (we’re looking into it). I’m Jewish, so I could technically also get Israeli citizenship if I wanted it. I have no idea why I would want such a thing.
