Netanyahu's plan for Gaza risks dividing Israel, killing Palestinians and horrifying world
- On Monday, Israel’s cabinet approved an expanded military operation to capture Gaza, aiming to return hostages and subdue Hamas in the enclave.
- The plan comes in response to the assault by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of around 1,200 Israelis and the capture of approximately 250 hostages, prompting Israel's current military campaign in Gaza.
- The operation will include moving most of Gaza’s 2.3 million people southward to a controlled sterile area, continuing airstrikes, dismantling Hamas infrastructure, and controlling aid deliveries.
- Israel says 59 hostages remain alive in Gaza, while Palestinian health officials report over 52,000 deaths and widespread devastation due to the strikes.
- This offensive risks worsening the humanitarian crisis and political divisions in Israel, with the UN and aid agencies condemning the blockade and urging a ceasefire to end suffering.
