Netanyahu divides Israelis and allies with a gas occupation plan

The plans of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a new military impetus in the Gaza Strip have lifted warnings from the army leadership, opposing hostage families and fears that more Palestinians will be killed and risk isolate the country even more.

As the security cabinet was preparing to meet to discuss the proposals, Netanyahu gave an interview with Fox News, in which he said that Israel intends to take full control of Gaza to ensure his security, to remove Hamas from power and to allow the civil population to be transferred to the management of the civil population.

But he suggested that Israel did not want to preserve the territory.

“We don’t want to manage it,” Netanyahu said in English. “We don’t want to be there as a governing body. We want to pass it on to Arabian forces.”

It does not give details of the possible arrangements or which countries can be included; However, it was a rare indication of what it could provide for post -war gas.

For now, however, Netanyahu wants an extended offensive that is likely to see the Israeli military, which says it controls about 75% of the territory, operating in the city of Gaza and camps in the central part of the strip, where about one million Palestinians live and are believed to behave.

Potential operations that could take months would mean the mass displacement of people with the potential to worsen the humanitarian crisis there.

This may cause a new condemnation on the part of countries that expressed anger from the Gaza situation and called on Israel to end the almost two -year war, which began in response to Hamas’s attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023.

In a sign of great differences between the political and military leadership, the head of the Israeli army headquarters, Lieutenant, Gen Aela Zamir, told Netanyahu that the full occupation of Gaza was “tantamount to trap,” according to reports in the Israeli media.

The report said in the reports, warned that the offensive would endanger the lives of the 20 hostages, who are thought to be alive and soldiers who are exhausted.

Many hostage families share these concerns and say that the only way to guarantee the hostage release is through a contract with Hamas.

According to the Maariv newspaper, “the prevailing assessment is that most and possibly all living hostages (will) die” during an extended offensive, or killed by their abductors, or by accident by Israeli soldiers.

Speculation about the expanded offensive has also expressed differences between some of Israel’s international allies.

Israel’s British Ambassador Simon Walter said Gaza’s complete occupation would be a “huge mistake”, while being repelled against us and Israeli allegations that a possible recognition of Palestinian statehood from the United Kingdom was a Hamas Award.

Meanwhile, US Messenger Mike Hukabi, an unwavering Israeli supporter, said it was up to the Israeli government to decide whether to completely take the tape. “It’s not our job to tell them what they should or should not do,” he told CBS News, a BBC news partner in the United States.

Until now, Netanyahu has failed to offer a vision for gas after the war, except for the refusal to accept a governing role for the Palestinian power, the body that rules the occupied West Bank and recognizes Israel.

Polls suggest that most of the Israeli public favors a deal with Hamas for the liberation of the hostages and the end of the war.

Israeli leaders say Hamas is not interested in negotiations so far, as they believe the group feels strengthened by international pressure on Israel.

The threat of a full profession may be part of the strategy to try to force the group to make discounts in stagnant conversations.

But many here believe that Netanyahu prolongs the conflict to guarantee the survival of his coalition, which relies on the support of ultra -nationalist ministers who threaten to leave the government if there is any deal with Hamas.

Itamar Ben Guir and the unzipped tuck have also publicly defended the expulsion of the Palestinians from Gaza – which could be the forced displacement of civilians, a war crime – and move it with the Jews.

Israel’s war in Gaza killed over 61,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, led by Hamas.

Hamas attacks on October 7, about 1,200 people were killed against Israel, while 251 were taken to Gaza as hostages.
