US EditionSaudi Slams Israel's Plan To Take Over Gaza City
- On August 8, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the launch of a military campaign aimed at gaining full control over Gaza, beginning with the densely populated Gaza City, where approximately one million Palestinians reside.
- This decision followed Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that killed 1,200 and took 250 hostages, and came after the Israeli Cabinet approved five principles to end the war, including Gaza's demilitarization.
- United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Israel's plan as a dangerous escalation that risks forced displacement, killings, and worsening the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
- Guterres called for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, full humanitarian access, and the prompt release of hostages, emphasizing that a lasting resolution cannot be achieved while the occupation continues unlawfully.
- The Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting to discuss the crisis, while aid shortages and continuing violence fuel fears of increased suffering and instability in Gaza.
