Islamabad ( The COW News Digital) The Israeli security cabinet has officially approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposal for a military takeover of Gaza amid ongoing tensions and conflict in the region.
In an interview with American media, Netanyahu expressed his determination to take control over all areas of Gaza, citing Israel’s security concerns as the primary reason for the move. However, he clarified that Israel does not intend to govern Gaza directly but plans to hand over control to a civilian administration once military objectives are achieved.
Netanyahu emphasized that securing Israeli citizens and preventing further attacks remains the top priority. He indicated that the military operation aims to dismantle militant capabilities while establishing a new governance structure for Gaza in due course.
The announcement has sparked immediate condemnation from Palestinian resistance group Hamas. In a strong statement, Hamas denounced Netanyahu’s remarks as a severe provocation against ongoing ceasefire negotiations.
Hamas asserted that Israel will never be allowed to gain full control over Gaza. The group accused Netanyahu of using the pretext of security to carry out a campaign of mass killings and forced displacement of Palestinians.
According to Hamas, Netanyahu is willing to sacrifice Palestinian hostages to serve his own political and military interests. The resistance group vowed to continue fighting against Israeli aggression until their demands are met and their people are protected.
This latest development escalates tensions in the already volatile Gaza Strip, where civilians have been enduring prolonged violence and humanitarian crises. The international community has urged restraint from all parties and called for renewed efforts toward peaceful resolution.
Analysts warn that a full military control of Gaza by Israel could lead to severe consequences, including widespread displacement, intensified hostilities, and further regional instability. The possibility of a prolonged conflict raises serious concerns about the safety of civilians on both sides.
The situation remains fluid, with both Israeli authorities and Hamas preparing for what could be a critical turning point in the conflict. The world watches closely as negotiations and military actions unfold, hoping for a resolution that prioritizes human lives and lasting peace in the region.
