Israel's security cabinet has approved a plan to take control of Gaza City, intensifying military operations in the area. This decision has faced strong criticism, with concerns about escalating humanitarian crises for Palestinians. UN officials warned this move would lead to forced displacement, killings, and destruction, further aggravating the suffering of Gazans. The UN Security Council is scheduled to meet regarding this situation, amidst reactions from international allies like Germany and Britain, urging reconsideration of Israel's military campaign plans against the backdrop of ongoing conflicts.
The decision marks a dangerous escalation and risks deepening the already catastrophic consequences for millions of Palestinians, and could further endanger more lives, including of the remaining hostages.
This decision will result in additional forced displacement, killings and massive destruction, compounding the unimaginable suffering of the Palestinian population in Gaza.
Germany announced it would halt exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called disappointing.
Britain and other European allies urged Israel to reconsider its decision to escalate the Gaza military campaign.
