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.
