Zero time for the Gaza Strip. Despite international reactions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not only tends to the scenario of expansion of the attack, but also the occupation of the whole enclave, Seeking a “finishing blow” to Hamas, an office of his office said Monday.
The Israeli prime minister announced on Monday that the Council of Ministers will convene the Security Council within the week (probably on Tuesday) to give instructions to the Israeli army for the next moves in the Gaza Strip to achieve all Israeli war targets.
“We must continue to stand united and fight together to achieve all of our war goals: the enemy’s defeat, The liberation of our hostages and the assurance that Gaza will no longer be a threat to Israel. ” Netanyahu said at the start of a regular cabinet meeting.
International Organizations have warned For incalculable humanitarian consequences in the civilian population.
‘Senior officials in the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the decision is made: Israel will launch an operation to occupy the Gaza Strip (…) According to them, Hamas will not release other hostages without absolute tradition and Israel is not willing to stop. Officials added that without immediate military action, hostages will die of hunger and Gaza will remain under Hamas control. ”
In practice the decision means that the Israeli Army forces will also attempt to areas where Israel has avoided attempting in recent months, including of the central camps.
An Israeli official told CNN on Sunday that Netanyahu “Presses to release hostages through military defeat (Hamas)”, while accusing the Palestinian team of refusing to participate in meaningful negotiations.
The official said Netanyahu wanted to combine the release of hostages “With the entry of humanitarian aid into areas outside the battle zones and, as much as possible, in areas that are not under the control of Hamas.”
Asked about the plans to expand the military campaign, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on Monday that this reflects “The desire to see all the hostages return and the desire to see the end of this war after the conversations for a partial agreement was failed.”
Fifty hostages remain in Gaza, At least 20 of whom are believed to be alive. On the weekend, Hamas posted shocking shots with two of the hostages – Eviatas David and Rom Brasslavsky – appearing in poor condition.
Netanyahu said the pictures show that Hamas “He doesn’t want an agreement. He wants to break us up with these horrifying videos, with the false horror propaganda that spreads all over the world. “
However, the Family Family Forum warned the Israeli government not to expand the Gaza military campaign.
“Netanyahu prepares the greatest cheating of all. Repeated allegations of hostage release through military victory are a lie and public fraud »said the forum on Sunday.
The forum called on Israel and Hamas to commit to carrying ‘the 50 hostages back to their homelandend the war and then rebuild and revive Israel, “the statement said.
Hamas insisted that she was committed to negotiations, but only when she is treated “the devastating humanitarian situation”, according to Bassem Naim, a senior political official.
Another Hamas official, Mahmoud Mardaui, told CNN last week that it “makes no sense” to continue talks as long as the starvation in Gaza continues.
On Monday, hundreds of retired Israeli security officials called on Trump to push Netanyahu to end the Gaza war.
“At first this war was a fair war, a defensive war, but when we achieved all the military targetsthis war has ceased to be a fair war ‘, Amy Agialon, former head of the Security Service, said.
However, far -right members of government They are pushing for a large part of Gaza and for measures that will encourage its population to completely abandon the area.
