Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken yesterday in Israel that the IDF will establish a buffer zone “deep” into Gaza after the war, the Kan public broadcaster reports, citing two sources familiar with the matter.

The US has insisted in recent weeks that there be no reduction in Gaza’s territory after the war.
