In a pivotal move, Israel's security cabinet has approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial plan to seize control of Gaza City. The five-point strategy aims to disarm Hamas, liberate long-held hostages, demilitarize the region, ensure Israeli security dominance, and set up a non-Hamas civilian administration.
Massive anti-government protests continue to erupt across Israel, pushing for an end to the prolonged conflict and the retrieval of hostages. Netanyahu's office indicated the cabinet disapproved of an alternative proposal, believing it wouldn't achieve these objectives.
Israel's military has been instructed to prepare for the operation, while humanitarian aid will be provided to civilians. The decision follows Hamas's attack on Israel in October 2023, leading to ongoing conflict and severe humanitarian issues in Gaza.
