US EditionWeek in Politics: Israel Faces Criticism for Gaza Takeover Plan; Trump Doesn't Intervene
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 8 – Israeli government plans total Gaza occupation to address hostages and Hamas, despite opposition from military leaders and widespread international criticism, with over 60,000 Palestinians killed, reports say.
- Approving the move, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s security cabinet decided on Friday to pursue a full takeover of Gaza City and the Gaza Strip after an eight-hour meeting.
- Amid mounting global criticism of Gaza operations, Netanyahu's government ignores food and aid blockages, with over 60,000 Palestinians killed, and he 'don't give a stuff what the rest of the world thinks'.
- Around 800,000 Gaza City civilians are to be evacuated to humanitarian zones as part of the plan, with General Eyal Zamir warning it is 'tantamount to walking into a trap.'
- Amid global backlash, China's foreign ministry reiterated 'Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people' and called for an immediate ceasefire, while the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the decision 'wrong'
- If formally seen as an occupying power, Israel would be legally responsible for providing aid to two million Palestinian civilians, and officials warn the campaign could last months and mobilize thousands of reservists.
