The convergence of the disengagement anniversary with new Gaza merchant permissions creates an unprecedented economic dynamic - the first time since 1967 that Gaza traders will operate as intermediaries between international aid and local distribution while under heightened security protocols. This hybrid economic model hasn't existed in previous Israel-Gaza arrangements.
Gaza Disengagement 20th Anniversary Reveals Economic Shifts
📰 What Happened
Israeli media marks the 20th anniversary of the 2005 Gaza disengagement, with right-wing outlets focusing on vindication of their opposition to the withdrawal. The coverage coincides with new developments in Gaza trade, including Israel's first authorization since recent conflicts for Gaza merchants to facilitate aid distribution. Serbia reports record-breaking military exports to Israel in 2025, surpassing 2024 levels.

This combination of military commerce, restricted trade flows, and territorial economic impacts provides a framework for how the Antichrist could eventually implement regional economic controls.
