Axios reported, citing an Israeli official, that the Political and Security Council approved Netanyahu’s proposal to occupy Gaza.
Netanyahu’s office: The cabinet approves the prime minister’s proposal to take full control of the Gaza Strip.
Israel Hayom: The cabinet approved Netanyahu’s proposal to invade the Gaza Strip after 10 hours of deliberations.
The Israeli Security Cabinet approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposal to invade Gaza City. Axios reporter Barak Ravid reported Friday morning on X/Twitter, citing an anonymous Israeli official, saying:
- Details of the Plan: According to some reports, the plan aims to forcibly relocate approximately 1 million Palestinians from northern Gaza to the south, followed by a ground offensive to occupy the area. It also proposes steps such as increasing aid distribution points and providing $1 billion in aid to mitigate international backlash.
Domestic and Foreign Reactions:
- Inside Israel: The plan has been criticized by Chief of General Staff Eyal Zamir and some members of the military; Zamir reportedly warned that the plan would lead the country into a “trap.” Furthermore, hostage families and opposition parties argue that the plan will make it harder to rescue the hostages and deepen the humanitarian crisis.
International Reactions: The Palestinian Authority condemned the plan and called on the international community to intervene; actors such as Turkey, the European Union, and the United Nations warned that the invasion plan could have disastrous consequences.
US Position: While some X-posts and sources such as Haaretz claim that the Trump administration supports the plan, this information has not been confirmed by official sources and remains uncertain.
