US EditionIsrael approves plan to seize all of Gaza and hold it indefinitely, officials say
- Israel's security cabinet approved a plan on Monday to expand military operations and seize control over the entire Gaza Strip indefinitely.
- The plan follows the collapse of a ceasefire in mid-March and aims to defeat Hamas and secure the release of approximately 59 Israeli hostages held in Gaza.
- The operation involves mobilizing a large number of reservists, establishing security zones in areas under control, and relocating a significant portion of Gaza's population to the southern part of the enclave.
- Over 52,000 Palestinians have died since the conflict began, mainly civilians, while about 1,200 Israelis were killed in Hamas's October 2023 attack that took 250 hostages.
- This escalation risks worsening Gaza's humanitarian crisis, provoking international opposition, and complicating ceasefire efforts and hostage negotiations during ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
