US EditionNetanyahu to propose full reoccupation of Gaza, Israeli media report
GAZA STRIP, AUG 6 – Netanyahu aims to defeat Hamas and secure hostage release by fully occupying Gaza despite military opposition and international calls for a ceasefire, with 75% of Gaza already under Israeli control.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to propose a full reoccupation of the Gaza Strip when he convenes his security cabinet this week.
- This decision comes after unsuccessful efforts to reach an indirect ceasefire agreement with Hamas and ongoing disputes regarding humanitarian aid and the terms for hostage releases.
- Netanyahu emphasizes achieving all war objectives, including defeating Hamas, releasing hostages, and ensuring Gaza no longer poses a threat, while some officials warn of risks to hostages.
- Approximately fifty individuals are still held hostage in Gaza, with estimates suggesting that only around twenty of them are alive. Recently released images by Hamas depicting some hostages looking frail have caused distress among the Israeli public.
- The proposal implies intensified military action, but humanitarian groups highlight severe aid shortages and displacement affecting 90% of Gaza's population amid calls for diplomatic solutions.
