Netanyahu says decision made for full occupation of Gaza

GAZA STRIP, AUG 4 – The Israeli government plans a permanent Gaza occupation to defeat Hamas, with the military controlling 75% of the territory and expanding operations into hostage-held areas.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday evening a decision for the full occupation of the besieged Gaza Strip.
  • This announcement came after several months of unsuccessful ceasefire negotiations involving Netanyahu's administration and Hamas, during which each party accused the other of breaching agreements.
  • The Israel Defense Forces, currently controlling about 75% of Gaza, will now operate in all areas, including where 49 hostages are held, despite risks to their safety.
  • Netanyahu told IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, “If this does not suit him, you should resign,” signaling possible resistance within the military leadership.
  • The plan involves fully bringing Gaza under Israeli control, but dismantling Hamas’s network could require a prolonged effort, leaving the future uncertain for the two million Palestinians residing there.
