Netanyahu is holding the cabinet to discuss the possible expansion plans – National – National

The Israeli security cabinet is scheduled to meet Thursday evening to discuss the potential expansion of Israel’s military operations in GazaStep – if that happens – it will come despite the intense opposition from many in IsraelIncluding the families of the hostages who remain in the families of Hamas.

The meeting comes on a day when at least 29 Palestinians were killed in air strikes and fire via southern Gaza, according to local hospitals.

Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis said that 12 deaths were people trying to access aid near a distribution site managed by an American private contractor and supported by an Israeli. The hospital said that at least 50 people were injured, many shots. Neither the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation nor the Israeli army, which helps to secure the group’s sites, immediately commented on strikes or shooting. He accused the Israeli army agitation From working in densely populated civilian areas.

This week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with senior advisers and security officials to discuss what his office said is ways to achieve the goals of Israel in Gaza “after the collapse of the ceasefire talks last month.

An Israeli official said familiar with the issue that the security cabinet is expected to take place a long discussion and agree to an expanded military plan to conquer all or parts of Gaza, which has not been intended after that under the control of the Israeli. The official, who speaks, said, provided that his identity is not disclosed pending an official decision, that everything that has been approved will be implemented gradually and in stages with the idea of increasing pressure on Hamas.

Such a move would lead to a new international condemnation of Israel at a time when Gaza is heading towards starvation. She also conducted opposition throughout Israel, where hostages say that they may threaten their loved ones.

The Israeli army commander, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, warned that the plan will endanger the hostage and prepare the Israeli army, which spanned thin during a conflict for nearly two years, according to the Israeli media. The comments seem to have revealed a dispute between Netanyahu and his army.

The demonstrations were planned throughout Israel on Thursday evening to protest against the expected cabinet decision.

On Thursday morning, nearly twenty relatives of the hostages who were detained in Gaza from southern Israel towards the maritime border with Gaza sailed, where they broadcast messages from loudspeakers on boats to their relatives in Gaza.

Families condemned Netanyahu’s plan to expand military operations. Judea Cohen, the father of Nimrod Cohen, an Israeli soldier who is being held hostage in Gaza, said that the boat is that Netanyahu extends the conflict to satisfy the extremists in his government and prevent him from collapsing.

He said: “Netanyahu only works for himself,” and he is giving up with the international community to pressure Netanyahu to stop the conflict and save his son.

The Israeli authorities restored the body of a Palestinian activist who was killed by an Israeli settler last week, after female relatives fired a hunger strike to protest against the authority’s decision to detain. The hunger strike was a rare general invitation from Badwin women who traditionally saddened.

Witnesses said that other than God, Hathalin was shot by an Israeli radical settler during a confrontation that was taken on the video last month. The Israeli authorities said that they will not restore the body unless the family agrees to some circumstances that “prevent general turmoil.” Although some of their demands were dropped, family members said that Israel had placed checkpoints and prevented many mourners from outside the village from attending.

The ordeal of the Palestinians in this region of the West Bank, known as Masifer Yata, appeared in the movie “No Land”, an Oscar -winning documentary on the violence of settlers and life under the Israeli military rule.

The Al Hathalin, a political activist and an English teacher, was a contributor to the film and his close friend to the managers participating in the Palestinians.

Two major international assistance organizations published on Thursday condemning Israeli policies in Gaza.

Human Rights Watch called on governments all over the world to suspend the transfer of their arms to Israel in the wake of the deadly air strikes in two Palestinian schools last year.

Human Rights Watch said that the investigation did not find any evidence of a military target in any of the school. At least 49 people were killed in the air strikes that struck the Khadia Girls School in Deir al -Raheb on July 27, 2024, and the Wazzon C School in Gaza City on September 21, 2024.

Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières or MSF, accused the human food distribution sites in Gaza of causing “organized killing” instead of distributing aid.

According to the United Nations, more than 850 people have died near GHF sites in the past two months. Doctors Without Borders is running two medical clinics near GHF sites and said it has treated nearly 1,400 people wounded near the sites between June 7 and July 20, including 28 people who died upon their arrival. MSF also treated 41 children who were shot near GHF sites.

The organization said it also treated nearly 200 patients suffering from physical assault injuries from GHF sites, including head injuries, suffocation and many patients with severely strict eyes after spraying them close to pepper spray.

GHF did not immediately answer the comment request. But she said that her contractors had not shot anyone in their positions.

The militants, led by Hamas, killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and kidnapped 251 on October 7, 2023, an attack that ignited the conflict. They still carry 50 hostages, about 20 of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest has been launched in the ceasefire or other deals.

The Israeli retaliatory military attack killed more than 61,000 Palestinians, according to the Ministry of Health in Hamas. The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and fighters in its account, but it says that about half of the dead were women and children. The ministry is part of the Hamas government, but it is operated by medical professionals. The United Nations and other independent experts are their numbers as the best reliable number of injuries.

Israel opposed the numbers, but it did not provide them.
