Netanyahu says that Israel intends to seize Gaza while the security cabinet meets to discuss the movement

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israel intends to control both Gaza, despite the intensification of criticism at home and abroad for the devastating war of approximately two years old in the Palestinian enclave.

“We intend to.” “We don’t want to keep it. We want to have a security environment. We don’t want to judge it. We don’t want to be there as a ruling body.”

He said that Israel wanted to deliver lands to the Arab forces that would rule them.

Netanyahu made his comments on Fox News before the result of a meeting that was scheduled to be on Thursday with a small group of senior ministers to discuss the army’s plans to control more lands in Gaza.

The security cabinet session is following a meeting this week with the head of the army, which Israeli officials described as tense, saying that the military commander had prompted the campaign to expand the campaign.

Opinion polls show that most Israelis want the war to end in a deal that would see the release of the remaining hostages. The Netanyahu government insisted on a complete victory over the Palestinian armed group Hamas, which sparked the war with its deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

The United Nations has called on reports on a possible expansion of Israel’s military operations in Gaza “very worrying” if it is true.

The idea of the Israeli forces, which are pushing to the areas that are not already controlled in the broken Palestinian pocket, has generated an alarm in Israel. On Thursday, Hathina’s mother urged people to transport the streets to express their opposition to the expansion of the campaign.

“A person talks about a comprehensive deal that does not go and wash the tape and put hostages and soldiers in danger,” Ainaf Zangoker wrote on the social media platform X in the comments directed at Netanyahu.

The hostage families Forum, which represents the prisoners held in Gaza, urged the head of the military staff Eyal Zamir to oppose the expansion of the war and called on the government to accept a deal that would end the war and liberate the remaining hostages.

The army to implement orders until all the goals of the war met

Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that the army will be charged with government decisions so that all the goals of the war would be achieved. Israeli leaders have long insisted on disarming Hamas and had no future role in Gaza, and that the hostages be released.

There are still 50 hostages still detained in Gaza, and Israeli officials believe that 20 alive. Most of those who have been released so far came as a result of diplomatic negotiations. Talks towards the ceasefire could have witnessed some of the hostages that were released in July.

A senior Palestinian official said that Hamas told the Arab mediators that the increase in humanitarian aid that is entering Gaza would lead to an appeal in the ceasefire negotiations.

Israeli officials accuse Hamas of seizing aid to hand over its fighters and sell it in the Gaza market to finance its operations, accusations that the armed group deny. Last month, he found US analysis No evidence From Hamas’s widespread theft in Gaza, challenging the main logical basis provided by Israel and the United States to support an armed special aid.

The videos released last week showed the hostage and fragile hostages, which led to an international condemnation.

Hamas, which has ruled Gaza for nearly two decades, but now it controls parts of the pocket only, insists that any deal should lead to a permanent end of the war. Israel says the group has no intention to go with promises to abandon power after that.

A Palestinian says: “I will die in front of this tents camp.”

The Israeli army says it controls about 75 percent of Gaza. Most of the Gaza population has been displaced about two million times several times over the past 22 months, and the relief groups warn that the pocket residents are about to starve.

“The Netanyahu government is already carried out genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza,” the 59 -year -old Al -Massari said to CBC News Freelance Mohamed El Saif on Thursday in Gaza City.

“The expansion of the military operation will only increase the number of martyrs … and the destruction of homes and shelters.”

“What remains (Israel) to do?” Najla Abu Jarad, 60, told CBC News.

“My plan is not to leave at all. I will die in front of this camp. Death is more honorable than wearing us from place to place.”

Almost 200 Palestinians of hunger have died in Gaza since the war began, nearly half of them, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. The Director General of the World Health Organization said on Thursday that Gaza witnessed the highest monthly number of acute malnutrition in children.

In July, approximately 12,000 children under the age of five were identified as suffering from acute malnutrition in Gaza – the highest monthly number that has ever registered, according to the Director General of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Netanyahu is exposed to extensive international pressure to reach a ceasefire agreement, but he also faces internal pressure from within his alliance to continue the war. Some right -wing allies in his government pushed a full occupation of Gaza and Israel to re -establish the settlements there, after two decades of withdrawal.

On Wednesday, far -right finance minister Bizallil Smotrich told reporters that he hoped that the government will agree to control the army over the rest of Gaza.

About 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken into account in the Hamas -led attack in October 2023 on the southern Israeli societies.

Since then, more than 61,000 Palestinians have been killed due to Israel’s attack on Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, which said 98 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire through the pocket during the past 24 hours.
