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

On Monday in Tel Aviv, Israel's security cabinet unanimously approved a plan to take control of all Gaza territory and relocate its residents to the southern part of the enclave.
The decision followed the collapse of a nearly two-month ceasefire and aims to defeat Hamas by holding territory and restricting its control over aid.
The military will call up a large number of reserve soldiers to carry out a phased offensive named 'Gideon's Chariots,' aiming to retain control over all seized territories without any withdrawal, including in negotiations involving hostages.
More than 52,000 Palestinians have died since the war began, and the plan to relocate civilians has drawn widespread condemnation due to concerns over humanitarian impact and hostage safety.
The plan's implementation will likely escalate the conflict, exacerbate Gaza's humanitarian crisis, and provoke international opposition while aiming to secure hostages' release and Hamas' defeat.
