Israel’s security cabinet is meeting on Thursday to decide whether a full military acquisition of the Gaza Strip is to order – one step The United Nations says the “terrible results” will be at risk.
Israeli media says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees it as the only way to destroy Hamas and free hostages that are still conducted by the group after the breakdown of the ceasefire negotiations.
The report, however, states that the chief of the army and some ministers disagree, such a trick may be disastrous for hostage and Palestinian citizens amid such warnings.
Top United Nations official Miroslav Jenka told the United Nations Security Council earlier this week that it would be against international law and a “deeply worrying” possibility.
The Israeli army currently controls about three-fourths of Gaza. Most of the population of Gaza has already been displaced by war and many more will be uprooted if the army takes to the remaining areas.
The security cabinet of the top government ministers is going to be available at 18:00 local time (15:00 GMT) on Thursday.
According to Israeli media, thousands of Israeli soldiers will need to be sent to Gaza to acquire.
Reports stated that the scheme is initially focused on taking full control of Gaza City, transferring one million inhabitants to the south. Force will also take control of the central Gaza and refugee camps in the areas where hostages are held.
Reports say that a second aggressive weeks will follow with an increase in human aid in parallel after weeks.
The US Ambassador to Israel Mike Hakabi told Fox News that there would be an important scale of distribution sites run by Israel and US-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
The GHF has been strongly criticized by the United Nations and aid agencies who have accused it of being chaotic and hungry Palestinians have forced hungry Palestinians to travel long distances in dangerous conditions to try to get food.
Hundreds of people have been shot dead in or around four sites run by GHF since it was operated in May. The Ministry of Health and Witnesses run by Hamas have accused Israel forces of being responsible. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) refused to target the citizens, saying that the soldiers have removed the warning shots to keep the crowd back or in response to the dangers.
The war has created a humanitarian disaster in Gaza, most of which un-assured experts say that in terms of food consumption is at the point of famine. The region is experiencing a massive decrease as a result of heavy restrictions imposed by Israel, which is allowed – something that aims to weaken Hamas.
Netanyahu has decided on Gaza’s victory in recent times, increasing tension with military chiefs.
In a meeting with Netanyahu on Tuesday, IDF Chief of Staff, Ile Zameer has said that the control of Gaza can implicate the soldiers and the hostages can be further endangered. He has presented an alternative plan in which instead of complete possession, the remaining Hamas is associated with surrounded the strongholds.
The Israeli media says, despite some misunderstandings, the security cabinet is expected to approve Netanyahu’s plan.
The families of the hostages reacted with the alarm, afraid of such a step and push their prisoners into killing them.
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Gaza handling Gaza was actually “up to Israel”. The US has been mediation in the indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas for months, but the conversation broke two weeks ago.
Hamas launched the war after attacking Israel on 7 October 2023, killing around 1,200 people and 251 took back Gaza as hostages. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israel launched a large -scale military aggressive in response, killing at least 61,158 Palestinians.
