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. He comments on the US presidential election, expressing doubt that either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump would back a regional war in the Middle East. Bishara suggests Harris may take a more cautious stance towards Israeli war crimes, while Trump’s position remains uncertain. However, he does not expect either candidate to engage directly in a Middle Eastern conflict.
