US EditionTrump, Netanyahu speak as Israel faces backlash over Gaza plan
ISRAEL, AUG 10 – Netanyahu insists military control of Gaza aims to end Hamas rule while Trump signals tacit US approval despite warnings of worsening humanitarian crisis and international condemnation.
- On August 10, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press briefing in Jerusalem where he announced that the military had been authorized to eliminate the last two remaining Hamas-controlled areas located within Gaza City and the nearby Al Mawasi region.
- His announcement followed Israel's security cabinet approval to expand military operations amid ongoing conflict sparked by Hamas's October 2023 attack on southern Israel that killed about 1,200 people and abducted 251.
- Netanyahu stated that Israeli forces currently maintain military control over the majority of Gaza, with only a couple of Hamas strongholds remaining. He assured that safe evacuation routes would be established for civilians, and following victory, a civilian administration not affiliated with Israel or Hamas would be implemented.
- UN officials warned the plan risks "another calamity" causing further displacement and deaths, while European diplomats condemned it for endangering hostages and worsening Gaza's humanitarian crisis.
- The announcement deepened Israel's international isolation as some allies suspended arms exports, protests erupted domestically, and diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire and hostage release continued.
