Outrage at Israeli plan to take over Gaza City that could displace 1m Palestinians | Israel-Gaza war

Israel’s security cabinet, in a decision triggering global anger, the future of 1 million Palestinians after confirming a new ground attack aimed at seizing the full control of Gaza’s largest city stands in balance.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan for Gaza City will require more rise in the 22 -month war and mean that a exhausted and starving population will change more mass displacements.

The full cabinet, which is expected to gather within the next few days, has not yet been approved, but calls from all over the world to change its mind. Germany, Israel’s second largest weapon supplier and Europe’s most powerful supporter, suspended the delivery of weapons that can be used in Gaza on Friday.

Foreign Ministers from England, Germany, Italy, Australia and New Zealand joint statement On Saturday, the plans to control Gaza City will worsen a dangerous situation, and the mass famine in the region will worse with the “worst scenario”. The ministers said that more large -scale military operations in Gaza will “aggravate the catastrophe human condition, endanger the lives of hostages, and at risk that civilians are located.

After being pushed back on Saturday, an Emergency UN Security Council meeting was planned at 10:00 on Sunday.

The proposal has also opened a deep crack between Netanyahu and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) leadership, but did not oppose the most important supporter of Israel by the Trump administration.

Hamas said in a statement, Netanyahu’s plans, triggering war in October 2023, a surprise attack on Israel, seized by the group seized the surviving hostages, he said. The statement accused the Israeli Prime Minister to sacrifice his personal interests and pro -excessive ideological agendas ”.

Before the Security Cabinet meeting that started on Thursday and passed throughout the night, Israeli Prime Minister said that Israel was planning to seize the control of the entire region and eventually deliver it to the friendly Arab forces against Hamas.

The plans announced on Friday morning reflecting the opposition of IDF Chief of General Staff LT Gen Eyal Zamir, Netanyahu said that according to the Israeli press reports, he will endanger 20 or more living by Hamas and endanger the army of the Israeli army for about two years.

However, at a meeting with the leadership of the IDF Southern Command on Friday, the pronoun promised to fulfill the government’s orders.

Army Chief, “We advance detailed preparations at the highest level, we calculate all possible results. As always, we will perform the mission with the most sensitive and determination,” he said.

The NBC has released commercial satellite footage showing the accumulation of Israeli military vehicles on the edge of the coastline, and US officials said that this may mean that a new ground attack is close.

The plan put forward by Netanyahu’s office lists five targets: disarming Hamas, taking back all the hostages, evacuating the entire Gaza Strip, seizing the security control of the region, and “an alternative civilian administration with neither Hamas nor Palestinian authority”.

Israel has repeatedly bombed the city of Gaza and raided many raids on the ruined streets, and the militants returned to different neighborhoods as they re -grouped. Israel is one of the few areas of Gaza, which has not been transformed into a buffer zone or not under evacuation orders.

The Netanyahu plan means sending place troops to several areas of land unions that are not completely destroyed and constitutes approximately 25% of the Gaza Strip. It would force about 1 million Palestinians in and around Gaza to the evacuation zones in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. The sources familiar with the details of the meeting, the city’s evacuation is planned to be completed until October 7, he said.

According to Israel’s channel 12, the plan is framed as a limited operation rather than a complete invasion, soothing the military chiefs who are careful against the long -term profession and leaving an open crack with the IDF leadership. Some Israeli reports suggested that Zamir could resign.

A large place operation can displace tens of thousands of people and disrupt their efforts to offer food to the region.

The decision of the Israeli security cabinet fired protests at home and abroad. Thousands of demonstrators are preparing to go to the streets at the weekend, and the families of the remaining hostages in Gaza are afraid that climbing can afford their loved ones. Duzines protested on Thursday, outside the Security Cabinet Meeting in Jerusalem and later on Friday, the Defense Minister Israel Katz’s house.

Former senior Israeli security officials opposed the plan with a very few military benefits. Israel’s opposition leader Yair Lapid condemned the cabinet’s movement on Friday, and called it a disaster that would “lead to many other disasters ve and caused many soldiers to be killed and dozens of billions of Israeli taxpayers’ costs and“ diplomatic bankruptcy ”.

The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that the plan of Israel’s plan is to “understand how to make Hamas disarming and liberate the remaining hostages.

“Under these circumstances, the German government will not allow any military equipment that can be used in the Gaza Strip until the next announcement,” he said.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that Israel’s decision was wrong and called for rethinking immediately. “This action will do nothing to end this conflict or to help the hostages release. Only he will shed more blood,” he said.

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk said that the Plan of a complete military seizing the occupied Gaza Strip of the Israeli government should be “immediately stopped”, and EU Council President António Costa said that the implementation of the plan should have consequences for EU-Israel relations ”.

However, no opposition came from Washington. When asked to seize a possible Israel of Gaza, Donald Trump said on Tuesday: “I can’t really say. It will be up to Israel.”

News site Axios, a US official, Trump’ın Hamas published by Hamas is horrified by the video showing that his tomb was horrified by the video. “The president impressed the president and will allow the Israelis to do what they need to do,” he said.

Netanyahu’s office, within the scope of the plan to defeat Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army will “prepare to seize the control of the Gaza City while distributing humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside the war zones.”

An Israeli official said he would have discussed his plans to conquer all or parts of Gaza, which was not yet under Israeli control. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the authority said that everything approved to increase the pressure in the Palestinian militant group will gradually apply.

At least 90% of the Palestinians, who have already been displaced by the war at least once and injured one of the 10 people in the Israeli attacks, are supported for more misery. There is little in the health system and aid agencies such as the UN were largely closed by Israel.

Aya Mohammad, a 30 -year -old Palestinian who returned to the Gaza City with his family after being repeated, said, “Where should we go? We have been displaced and humiliated enough. Do you know what the world knows? This means that your honor is destroyed, you will be a homeless divary, you will be a homeless divide.

According to local hospitals, at least 42 Palestinians were killed in Israeli air strikes and shooting in Southern Gaza on Thursday.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, Israel’s military attack killed at least 61,000 Palestinians. The figure does not contain thousands of people who are believed to have been buried under the rubble, or thousands of people who have been indirectly killed as a result of the war.
