Israel Greenlights Gaza Takeover Plan Amid Global Outcry

In a controversial new move, Israel has approved a plan to seize the entire Gaza Strip and remain there indefinitely, according to senior Israeli officials. The decision, made during a secretive early morning Cabinet vote, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing war and is expected to face intense international backlash.

The plan reportedly includes the relocation of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to southern Gaza, a move that critics say amounts to forced displacement and would worsen an already dire humanitarian crisis.

The announcement comes as the Israeli military begins calling up tens of thousands of reservists, fueling speculation that the plan is part of a broader strategy to pressure Hamas into accepting ceasefire terms. A defense official added that the operation is not expected to begin until after U.S. President Donald Trump concludes his upcoming visit to the Middle East, suggesting a potential diplomatic window for a ceasefire deal.

While Israel has not formally disclosed the plan’s full details or timeline, its approval signals a dramatic shift in the country’s Gaza strategy, one that could redefine the conflict and further strain international relations.
