Israel approves plan to seize all of Gaza and hold it indefinitely, officials say

Israel's security cabinet approved a plan on Monday to capture and indefinitely hold the entire Gaza Strip, relocating its population south within the enclave.
The plan follows months of intense fighting after Hamas's October 2023 attacks and a ceasefire collapse in mid-March, prompting Israel to resume its offensive to defeat Hamas and secure hostages.
The operation includes deploying tens of thousands of reservists, maintaining control over captured areas without withdrawal, and coordinating aid distribution through Israeli security and private firms to exclude Hamas.
More than 52,000 Palestinians have died since the war began, aid deliveries have been blocked for over nine weeks, and critics warn the plan risks worsening humanitarian conditions and endangering hostages.
The plan's full implementation may follow US President Trump's Middle East visit and suggests possible Gaza annexation, raising international concerns and internal opposition over humanitarian and ethical impacts.
