US EditionIsrael's Netanyahu says wants to take control of all of Gaza
- On August 7, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel plans to assume full operational control over the Gaza Strip as part of a major escalation in the conflict.
- Netanyahu expressed that Israel aims to take military control of Gaza temporarily before transferring authority to Arab groups that will manage the territory responsibly and ensure Israel’s security is not endangered.
- This expanded operation aims to remove Hamas from power, encircle areas outside Israeli control, and follows indirect US-mediated talks with Hamas that collapsed in Qatar two weeks earlier.
- About 50 hostages remain held by Hamas in Gaza, while most Israelis favor ending the war through a deal securing their release, though families of hostages oppose war expansion plans.
- The planned military takeover risks severe humanitarian and diplomatic consequences, including trapping the military within Gaza and endangering hostages, while sparking domestic and international opposition.
