Israel's cabinet approved a military takeover of Gaza City, escalating the ongoing conflict. Global leaders are voicing alarm over the humanitarian impacts of this decision. The UN human rights chief urged an immediate halt to the plan, invoking international law and the need for a two-State solution. UK Prime Minister condemned the military escalation as wrong and harmful, stressing it would not resolve the conflict. Turkiye criticized the proposed takeover as an attempt to forcibly displace Palestinians, urging the international community to intervene and prevent its implementation.
The Israeli Government's plan for a complete military takeover of the occupied Gaza Strip must be immediately halted, the UN human rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement on Friday.
The plan to take over Gaza's largest city was announced on Friday, a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel intended to take military control of the entire Gaza Strip.
United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer called Israel's decision to step up military operations in Gaza wrong and called for restraint.
Turkiye said the decision to take control of Gaza City aimed to forcibly displace Palestinians and called for international leaders to prevent the plan from being carried out.
