Netanyahu defends Israel's plan to seize Gaza City, despite global condemnation
Briefly

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a plan to seize control of Gaza City and the remaining Gaza Strip, which will result in mass displacement of the population. Despite protests and calls for a ceasefire from families of hostages, Netanyahu insists this approach is the quickest way to end the war. Around 75% of Gaza is reportedly under Israeli control, with civilians in Gaza City expected to move to designated safe zones that will allegedly offer food and medical care. There are significant concerns from Gaza residents about the dangers of displacement and inadequate living conditions in these zones.
Netanyahu stated that his plan to control Gaza City involves displacing the population and taking full control of the Gaza Strip, despite widespread protests.
He emphasized that 75% of Gaza is already under Israeli military control, with plans to clear civilians from Gaza City and central areas.
Netanyahu claims his approach is the best way to end the war quickly, yet he provides no details on how the population of 2 million would be safely relocated.
Residents express dire concerns over displacement, fearing homelessness or inadequate conditions if moved south, highlighting their preference to remain in Gaza City.
