'Decision made': Israel to take full control of the Gaza Strip? IDF may enter hostage-held areas
In a major development, Israel may come up with a new plan for Gaza Strip that may include the possibility of taking full control of the Palestinian enclave and escalating military action in areas they have refrained from entering, according to local media reports. This signals a dramatic escalation in its nearly two-year-long war against the Hamas terror group. Quoting a senior source in Netanyahu's office, prominent Israeli journalist Amit Segal of Channel 12 reported, 'The decision has been made… we are going to occupy the Gaza Strip." The move comes amid a total breakdown in ceasefire negotiations and growing frustration within the Israeli leadership over the lack of progress on freeing hostages held by Hamas since the conflict's early days. "Hamas will not release hostages without total surrender. If we do not operate now, the hostages will die of starvation, and Gaza will remain under Hamas' control," Segal quoted the official as saying, according to a report from Fox News. A turning point in a protracted war The Israeli Security Cabinet is set to convene on Tuesday to finalise the next steps in Gaza. According to The Times of Israel, several ministers confirmed that Netanyahu has privately used the term "occupation of the Strip" to describe his intentions, a sharp pivot from the government's previous reluctance to re-enter densely populated zones. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Audiologists Angry About New $160 Device That Makes Hearing Crystal Clear Again Top Trending News Today Learn More Undo A senior official quoted by the Ynet news site said bluntly, "The die is cast — we are going for a full occupation of the Gaza Strip." Currently, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) control around 75% of Gaza's territory. The new plan would see Israeli forces enter all remaining areas, including zones where hostages are reportedly being held, a controversial move that could risk the lives of captives and escalate civilian casualties. Divisions within Israeli leadership According to The Times of Israel, the reported shift has exposed internal cracks within Israel's military and political establishment. According to Hebrew media, IDF Chief of Staff Lt Gen Eyal Zamir opposes the occupation strategy. In response, a senior source close to Netanyahu allegedly said, "If the chief of staff doesn't agree, he should resign." The rift underscores the deep unease surrounding the operational and humanitarian implications of such a full-scale takeover, especially at a time when Gaza's infrastructure is in ruins, and humanitarian aid remains insufficient. US envoy's visit fails to halt escalation The decision to escalate comes just days after US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff visited Israel to promote a new peace framework. Despite assurances that negotiations were ongoing, both sides now appear to have abandoned diplomatic channels. Netanyahu's reported plan, if approved, could have sweeping consequences for Gaza's over two million residents, as well as for regional stability. Aid agencies have warned that continued fighting, especially in densely populated urban pockets, could trigger a humanitarian catastrophe.
