The UAE's role has recently extended to supporting militias loyal to “Israel” within the Gaza Strip, as well as establishing a project to confine the Strip's residents to areas under Israeli control and occupation.

“Israel” has unveiled a proposal to build a new city called “Green Rafah”, a move seen as an attempt to sidestep key obligations in the second phase of the ceasefire agreement signed on October 10, 2025.

The Rafah operation revealed Palestinian resistance remains strong, Israeli control is limited, and the Gaza conflict’s human cost continues.

Local accounts and satellite images reveal that Rafah, once a thriving city, has vanished from the map after Israeli forces evacuated residents to the north and began systematically demolishing it into ruins.

The unexpected and powerful emergence of Hamas fighters on January 19, 2025, during the prisoner exchange deal, left Israeli leaders and settlers in shock.
