Gaza's Control Map Unfurled

Palestinian media on July 11 largely prioritized reports of escalating Israeli military operations in Gaza, detailing ongoing massacres, civilian casualties, and deepening incursions. Initial coverage also noted slow progress in Doha negotiations, despite Netanyahu's stated hopes for a quick agreement. A significant editorial shift occurred by late afternoon with the revelation of Israeli proposals for Gaza's future in negotiations, marked by a map indicating control over 40% of the Strip and continued Rafah occupation, triggering widespread concern over mass displacement. Concurrently, West Bank settler violence intensified, culminating in reports of two youths executed, prompting calls for popular deterrence. By evening, diplomatic developments advanced as Washington reportedly presented a specific withdrawal proposal to Hamas in Doha. These reports unfolded amidst internal Israeli assessments describing the Gaza war as a 'failure' and allegations of Netanyahu prolonging the conflict for political gain.
