Israel approves full ‘conquest’ of Gaza – media

Gaza news

The reported plan includes the forced relocation of Palestinians and occupation of the territory.

The Israeli government has approved a plan for the complete military occupation of Gaza and the forced relocation of its Palestinian inhabitants to the southern part of the territory, multiple news outlets have reported citing unnamed officials.

According to officials quoted by the AP, the new plan is meant to help Israel achieve its war aims of defeating Hamas and freeing the hostages held in Gaza. Israel says the militant group is holding 59 captives, although about 35 are believed to be dead.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet voted unanimously in favor of the strategy during a meeting on Monday morning, two sources told the media. Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces Eyal Zamir has also announced the mobilization of tens of thousands of additional reservists.

“The plan will include, among other things, the conquest of the Gaza Strip and the holding of the territories, moving the Gaza population south for their protection,” an Israeli official stated, as quoted by Agence France Presse.

The move likely will lead to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, which could exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis, the AP reports.

Zamir announced the mobilization on Sunday, emphasizing that more troops were necessary to “increase pressure” on Hamas. The elimination of the militant group is the declared aim of the Israeli offensive, in retaliation for a Hamas-led incursion into Israel in October 2023.

The attack resulted in approximately 1,200 fatalities in Israel and the abduction of dozens of hostages. Israeli bombardments have claimed over 50,000 lives in Gaza, predominantly civilians.

Israel has faced accusations of indiscriminate bombings, deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure, and obstruction of humanitarian aid. The humanitarian situation has deteriorated sharply due to an Israeli-imposed blockade, leading to severe shortages of food, medical supplies, and other essential resources. International organizations have expressed grave concern over the crisis and its impact on the civilian population.

In February, US President Donald Trump advocated the “voluntary” relocation of Palestinians from Gaza to countries such as Jordan and Egypt, saying that it would allow the enclave to be transformed into a resort zone.

While many countries have condemned Trump’s proposal, Netanyahu called it a “remarkable idea” that should be “pursued.”

  1. Israel, both materially and rhetorically, has made their intent to destroy the Palestinian people clear. If you take any metric—number of UN workers killed, number of medics killed, number of journalists killed, proportion of civilians to combatants killed, proportion of children killed, proportion of women and children killed—if you take any metric, Israel for the 21st century is in a class all its own.
    Israel’s use of propaganda and strategically timed attacks—often lining up with other major world events so as to avoid media scrutiny—has muddied political outlook of the genocide into one of war and defense rather than ethnic cleansing. The worlds media has done its part to feed these narratives as well.
    What is going to prove that Hamas has been defeated is when there’s no one left in Gaza. That will be the proof, and that is the Zionist agenda..

    • ” to avoid media scrutiny” ??

      well in western countries, most of the MSM, paper or TV are either j**ish owned ( or by proxy’s) or employe mostly j**ish ” journalists”.

      Further more, most western governments are now infiltrated by j*ws or j**sh ” sympatisants” ( blackmailed or bought) so that ” anti-semitic” legislation can be applied to muzzle ” legally” any critic of israhell. And in the same time demonizing muslims.
      Not that i have a particular sympathie for muslims, but they are also the victims of insidious propaganda against them through the j***sh owned MSM
