Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a military plan to take control of Gaza City in response to the worsening famine. This decision is viewed as a costly invasion that risks further suffering for Palestinians and the lives of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Within Israel, critics include former security officials and families of the hostages. The IDF, which currently controls 75 percent of Gaza, had previously aimed to manage the territory without direct population control to avoid the pitfalls of urban warfare and civilian responsibility.
