US EditionRelatives of Hostages Strongly Condemn Israeli Plans to Fully Occupy Gaza City
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 9 – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Gulf Cooperation Council, and Arab League denounce Israel's Gaza plan as illegal and call for a ceasefire amid over 61,000 Palestinian deaths, officials said.
- On August 10, 2025, Israel announced plans to gradually take full military control of Gaza City, escalating its 22-month conflict with Hamas.
- This plan follows the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack that killed about 1,200 Israelis and triggered Israel's retaliatory campaign in Gaza.
- The planned operation is expected to involve deploying a large number of soldiers and carrying out forced civilian evacuations, which would likely intensify the humanitarian challenges already faced in Gaza amid the ongoing blockade and airstrikes.
- The Gaza Contact Group strongly denounced the plan, labeling it unlawful, a major escalation, and an extension of the existing military control over Gaza, while UN Secretary-General Guterres described it as a perilous intensification of the conflict.
- The plan has drawn international calls for an immediate ceasefire, unconditional humanitarian aid access, and rejection of forced displacement amid fears of further regional destabilization.
