Netanyahu divides the Israelis and allies with a plan to occupy Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to push a new military in the Gaza Strip has sparked warnings from the army leadership, opposing hostage families and fears that more Palestinians will be killed. They also risk the isolation of his country further.

While the Security Council was ready to meet to discuss the proposals, Netanyahu conducted an interview with Fox News in which he said Israel controlled the full Gaza to ensure Israel’s security, remove Hamas from power and enable the transfer of civil rule to another party, without providing details.

But he suggested that Israel does not want to keep the region.

“We don’t want to judge it,” said Netanyahu in English. “We do not want to be there as a ruling body. We want to hand it over to the Arab forces.”

No details about the possible arrangements or countries that could participate; However, this was a rare indication of what it might imagine in Gaza after the war.

However, at the present time, Netanyahu wants an extensive attack that the Israeli army, who says it controls about 75 % of the lands, works in Gaza City and the camps in the central part of the tape, where about a million Palestinians live and believes that the hostages are being established.

Possible operations, which may take months, mean the mass exodus of people who have the ability to worsen the humanitarian crisis there.

This could make a new condemnation from the countries that expressed their anger at the situation in Gaza and the urged of Israel to end the nearly two -year war, which began in response to Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.

In a sign of a great difference between the political and military leadership, the Israeli Army Chief of Staff, Litanant General Eyal Zamir, said that the complete occupation of Gaza was “a walk in a trap,” according to reports in the Israeli media.

Reports stated that Zamir warned that the attack would be subjected to the life of the twenty hostages who are alive and the soldiers who were exhausted.

Many hostages share these concerns, and say that the only way to ensure the hostage is to issue a negotiating deal with Hamas.

According to Maariv, “the prevailing evaluation is that most of the living hostages (Will) and may die” during an extensive attack, either killed by their Israeli soldiers.

Speculation about the expanded attack also revealed differences between some Israeli international allies.

The British ambassador to Israel, Simon Walter, said that the complete occupation of Gaza would be a “big mistake”, while it was also retreating against us and Israeli allegations that the potential recognition of the Palestinian state by the United Kingdom was a reward for Hamas.

Meanwhile, the American envoy, Mike Hakapi, one of the strong supporters of Israel, said it is up to the Israeli government to decide whether to take over the entire tape. “It is not our duty to tell them what they should or should not be done,” CBS News, BBC’s news partner in the United States.

Netanyahu failed, so far, to present a vision of Gaza after the war, regardless of the refusal to accept the role of a ruler of the Palestinian Authority, a body that rules the occupied West Bank and recognizes Israel.

Opinion polls indicate that most of the Israeli public prefer a deal with Hamas to issue hostages and the end of the war.

Israeli leaders say, at the present time, Hamas is not interested in negotiating, as the group feels courageous because of international pressure on Israel.

The full occupation threat can be part of a strategy to try to force the group to make concessions in parked talks.

But many here believe that Netanyahu prolongs the conflict to ensure his alliance, which depends on the support of the advanced ministers who threatened to stop the government if there is any deal with Hamas.

Itamar Bin Ghaffir and Bazzalel Sotrich openly defended the expulsion of the Palestinians from Gaza – which could rise to the forced displacement of civilians, the crime of war – and to resettle it with the Jews.

The Israeli war in Gaza has killed more than 61,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas -run Gaza Ministry of Health.

Hamas attacks on October 7, Israel killed about 1,200 people, while 251 were transferred to Gaza, hostages.
