Xavier Abu Eid, a political analyst and former adviser to the Palestine Liberation Organization, says Israel’s forced displacement order for some neighbourhoods in Gaza shows it is planning a “new invasion”, Al Jazeera reports.

“If you look at the map (identifying areas Palestinians should evacuate from), it’s very clear what Israel’s military is doing,” he told Al Jazeera.

“They are taking several positions within all the border between Gaza and Israel — from the north to the south — so clearly what we are witnessing is not just a show of force or strength, but a new escalation, a new invasion you may want to call it.”

He added, Al Jazeera reports, that Netanyahu, backed by the Trump administration, “feels that he has a green light to continue the war as he pleases”.
