Middle East correspondent
Getty ImagesIsrael’s security cabinet approved its plan to seize Gaza City with the controversial increase in Gaza’s war.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians live in the north of the Gaza Strip. It was the most populous city of the settlement before the war.
The plan comes from a violent opposition and the international community in Israel, including the families of military officials and hostages.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Fox News to invade the entire Gaza strip of Israel and eventually “delivering it to the Arab forces”. Many things are still very uncertain, but here we know about the new plan.
What are the details of the plan?
Plan – or “Five Principles to End War” contains:
- Disarmed by Hamas
- Return of all living and dead hostages
- Demilitarization of Gaza Strip
- Safety Control on Israeli Gaza Strip
- The establishment of an alternative civilian administration with neither Hamas nor Palestinian authority.
IDF said that the army will prepare to seize the control of the Gaza City while providing humanitarian assistance to the civilian population outside the war zones “.
It is unclear whether this is a new help and whether it will be given by the controversial Israel and the US -backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation or another mechanism.
Why is it only taken over Gaza City?
Before the cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said he wanted Israel to control the entire Gaza.
The new plan only mentions Gaza City.
Israel estimates that 75% of Gaza is currently checking, and about 86% of the UN is under militarized areas or under evacuation orders.
The plan aims for the Israeli forces to seize the control of the largest city in the settlement for the first time during this conflict.
It is home to one million inhabitants and is surrounded by land that is already under the control of IDF or subject to a evacuation order.
The control on the city will be the first stage of the Gaza Strip on a full -scale acquisition, Middle East correspondent Hugo said Bachega.
There have also been some speculations that the threat of full occupation could be part of the strategy of pressing Hamas to compromise on stopped negotiations.
Netanyahu said Fox News Israel “does not want to protect it” and “Arab forces” plans to deliver.
“We want to have a security circle. We don’t want to manage it,” he said.
When will Israel seize the Gaza City?
Israel did not say when the inheritance would begin, but the reports in the Israeli media show that the army would not immediately move to the city of Gaza and that the residents should be released first.
Israel, the “alternative plan presented to the cabinet” “Hamas defeat or the return of the kidnappers” can not achieve, he said.
However, it is not clear what the alternative plan is or who sent it. The Israeli media reported that this was a more limited offer than the Chief of General Staff of the army.
As in Gaza plans, Netanyahu is “intentionally uncertain” about who the Arab forces he can be named after Lyse Doucet, the international correspondent of the BBC.
He may be talking about Jordanians and Egyptians who said they were willing to work with Israel – but they made it clear that they would not enter Gaza behind an Israeli occupation.
There was no more details about a timeline for the government after Gaza’s transfer, and Hamas has not yet responded to the plan.
What was the reaction?
Netanyahu faces criticism from pledge families and world leaders.
For a while, Israel’s military leadership says that Hamas in Gaza has no longer a threat to an organized military force.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described Israel’s rise as “wrong” and “only more blood shed”.
Palestinian National Venture President Mustafa Barghouti said Israel’s decision to expand military operations in Gaza was a “declaration of war crime”.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said that Israel aims to “forcibly displace the Palestinians from their territory”, hoping to immediately release the Gaza ceasefire and Israeli hostages immediately.
Australia also called on the restriction, and Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the inheritance of a Gaza city “only worse the human disaster in Gaza”.
The UN’s Human Rights Chief Volker Türk warns that “the war in Gaza should end now” and more rise “will result in more forced displacement, more killing, more unbearable pain, meaningless destruction and atrocity crimes.
The Postsary Family Forum Headquarters said the decision was “leading us to an enormous disaster for both hostages and soldiers.”
There are some reports that Americans continue to seize Netanyahu to seize the Gaza City.
However, it should be noted that NBC News reported a fiery phone call between US President Donald Trump and Netanyahu at the end of July – the President is called “Fake News”.
