The Israeli cabinet has approved the Israeli army to capture Gaza City in the northern area of Gaza Patti. The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a statement and confirmed this.
The cabinet has discussed for 10 hours for the decision.
Earlier, Netanyahu had talked about occupying the entire Gaza Strip, but this statement only mentions Gaza City. 75% of the area of Gaza is occupied by the earlier army.
The cabinet has also placed 5 major conditions in front of Hamas instead of finishing-
1. Complete disarmament of Hamas.
2. The release of all the remaining 50 hostages (of which 20 are likely to be alive).
3. End the militaryization of Gaza Strip.
4. Security control of Israel on Gaza Strip.
5. To become such an alternative civil administration in Gaza that is neither Hamas nor Palestinian Authority.
Netanyahu is demanding to establish Jews’ settlements again by implementing military rule on government fundamentalist minister Gaza.
Army chief was against the occupation of the entire Gaza
Netanyahu had planned to capture the entire Gaza. It was named Big Gaza Plan. However, his plan could not be agreed with the army.
The scheme was objected to the plan by Lt Gen Ayal Jamir, Chief of Staff, Israeli Defense Force (IDF). This led to a conflict between Israeli political and military leadership.
Jamir warned that attempts to occupy Gaza could pose a serious threat to the lives of 20 Israeli citizens hostage there. According to Jamir, this will get entangled in a tedious war in Israel Gaza.
Netanyahu’s colleagues sought the resignation of Army Chief
Netanyahu’s close associates have demanded the resignation of Army Chief Jamir on going against the Big Gaza plan. One of his close officers told an Israeli website that
Now it has been decided, we are moving towards full occupation of Gaza. If the Chief of Staff Jamir does not accept this, then he should resign.
During the Gaza war, Israeli officials have questioned the decisions of PM Netanyahu. Netanyahu’s plan to remove internal intelligence agency Shin Bet chief Ronon Bar was stopped by the court.
IDF Chief Harshi Halevi resigned in March 2025. In November 2024, the then Defense Minister Galant was removed by Netanyahu citing ‘Vishwas Crisis’.
Netanyahu has revealed a plan to complete the Gaza Strip with his close ministers.
Two of his radical colleagues are demanding a merger in Israel after Military rule on Finance Minister Bezallal Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gaza. They are advocating the restoration of Jewish settlements there.
The question is that if Netanyahu’s plan is implemented, then what will happen to the 23 lakh people living in Gaza?
28 children died every day in Gaza, 18 thousand children have been killed so far
UNICEF has said in its latest report that 28 Palestinian children are dying every day in Gaza due to Israeli bombing and human assistance.
Since October 2023, more than 18 thousand children have died. UNICEF said that the deaths of children are taking place due to bombing, malnutrition and lack of assistance. The situation is so frightening that in the last 24 hours, 8 people, including a child, were killed by starvation. Till now 188 people died of hunger, among them 94 children.
After the war started in Gaza, 60,933 people have died so far and have crossed the number of injured 1.5 lakh.
