The Israeli leadership voted to expand the Gaza ground attack

Israel agreed to plans on Monday to seize the entire Gaza Strip and stay in the region due to an unlimited period of time, in a step, in a step, if implemented, it will expand Israel’s operations significantly in the Palestinian territories and may bring fierce international opposition.

The cabinet ministers in Israel agreed to the plan in a vote early in the morning, hours after the Israeli army chief said that the army was calling tens of thousands of reserve soldiers. The new plan, which officials said aims to help Israel achieve its war goals of defeating Hamas and liberating the hostages held in Gaza, would also push hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to southern Gaza, which exacerbates a actually horrific humanitarian crisis.

Since the ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas armed group in mid -March, Israel has fierce strikes on the lands that killed hundreds. It has seized spaces of land and now controls about 50 percent of Gaza.

Before the truce ended, Israel stopped all humanitarian aid to Gaza, including food, fuel and water, which led to the worst humanitarian crisis in nearly 19 months of war. The prohibition on aid pushed hunger on a large scale, and the shortage has started. Israel tries to increase pressure on Hamas.

Both officials spoke on the condition that his identity was not disclosed because they were discussing military plans.

Plans to control aid through private companies

Israeli officials said that the plan included “picking up the tape and holding land.” The plan will also seek to prevent Hamas from distributing humanitarian aid, which Israel says the group’s rule in Gaza. He also accuses Hamas of maintaining itself to enhance its capabilities.

The officials said the plan also included strong strikes against Hamas’s goals. The officials said that Israel was in contact with many countries about the plan of US President Donald Trump to control Gaza and move its residents, in light of what Israel described “voluntary immigration” that sparked condemnation of Israeli allies in Europe and the Arab world.

For weeks, Israel is trying to increase pressure on Hamas and demand it to show more flexibility in the ceasefire negotiations. But international brokers who are trying to bring aspects towards a new deal, struggled to do so.

Israel’s measures did not seem to have quoted Hamas from its negotiating sites. The previous ceasefire was supposed to lead the two sides to negotiate the end of the war, but this goal was a repeated point in the talks between Israel and Hamas.

Israel says it will not agree to end the war until Hamas is defeated. Hamas, at the same time, demanded an end to the war.

Israeli officials have not revealed details about how the plan is seeking to prevent Hamas’s participation in the distribution of aid. One of them said that the ministers had agreed to the “option to distribute aid”, without clarification.

Objections

According to an internal memorandum distributed between the relief groups and the Associated Press, Israel told Israel that it would use private security companies to control the distribution of aid in Gaza. The United Nations said, in a statement on Sunday, that it would not participate in the plan as it came to her, saying that it violates its basic principles.

The memo, which was sent to assist the organizations on Sunday, detailed notes from a meeting between the Israeli Defense Authority responsible for coordinating aid to Gaza, Kojat, and the United Nations.

Under the COGAT plan, all aid will enter Gaza through the Kere Shalom crossing, while allowing about 60 trucks entering daily and distributing 20 kilograms of aid parcels directly to people on the day of entry, although their contents are unclear, and the number of people who would get aid was.

The memo said that aid will be distributed to logistical centers, which will be managed by private security companies. The memo said that face recognition will be used to identify Palestinians in the centers and text messages alerts to notify people in the region that they can collect aid.

The United Nations said the plan will leave large parts of the population, including the most vulnerable, without supplies. She said the plan “appears to be designed to enhance control of elements that maintain life as a pressure tactic-as part of a military strategy.”

The memo says that the United States government has expressed its clear support for the Israeli plan, but it is unclear to provide funding for private military companies or aid.

Kojat and the American embassy in Jerusalem did not respond immediately on a request for comment.

Earlier this week, AP got dozens of documents on relief groups’ concerns that the centers may permanently end Palestinian and force them to live in “actual detention conditions”.

The war began in Gaza when the militants, led by Hamas, southern Israel, killed 1,200 people-including many Canadian citizens-and took about 250 hostages. Israel says that 59 prisoners are still in Gaza, although it is believed that about 35 years old had died.

The Israeli attack killed more than 52,000 people in Gaza, and many of them are women and children, according to Palestinian health officials, who do not distinguish between fighters and civilians in their number.

The fighting resulted in the displacement of more than 90 percent of Gaza population, often several times.
