US military plans for divided Gaza, most of it under Israel

The US is planning to divide Gaza into two zones: a "green zone" under Israeli occupation with the help of international military control where reconstruction would start, and a "red zone", which will be left in ruins, The Guardian reported on Friday.

Most of the Palestinians have been displaced to the "red zone", where no reconstruction is planned, the report said.

Gaza is already divided into two distinct zones by the so-called "yellow line", which is controlled by Israel. The area to the east, which is held by Israel, will become the "green zone". The area to the west, outside Israel's control, will be the "red zone" and is home to at least 2 million Palestinians. The "red zone" comprises less than half of Gaza's total area.
