A new operation to expand the war in Gaza is set to proceed, involving the occupation of central Gaza areas, including Gaza City, with the displacement of about 1 million civilians. Netanyahu intends to move forward despite significant international pressure to address the humanitarian crisis and warnings from military leaders. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has expressed concerns about the operation, stating it could endanger hostages and potentially result in Israeli military governance over 2 million Palestinians.
Netanyahu's remarks came shortly before the Israeli Security Cabinet convenes to approve the highly controversial plan to expand the war.
The new operation to occupy additional areas of central Gaza, including Gaza City, is expected to take at least several months and involve displacing around 1 million Palestinian civilians.
IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir told Netanyahu he was 'walking into a trap' during one recent meeting, according to reports in the Israeli press.
Zamir argued the operation would endanger the hostages and could lead to Israeli military rule in Gaza with full responsibility over 2 million Palestinians.
