Israel says it will implement new plan for Gaza ‘soon’

A new Israeli plan against the Islamic fundamentalist group Hamas is expected to be implemented in the northern Gaza Strip in the coming days, Israeli National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi said on Tuesday (25).

According to him, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military plan has been “refined” in recent weeks and its “practical expression” will soon be seen.

“We shouldn’t wait for Hamas to disappear, because it’s a long process. We can’t get rid of Hamas as an idea, we need an alternative idea,” Hanegbi added.

According to Netanyahu’s adviser, this means “a government based on locals who are willing to live alongside Israel.” “They must be supported by moderate Arab states,” he concluded.

To date, at least 37,658 people have been killed during the more than eight months of conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants, the Hamas-led Gaza Health Ministry said.

The toll includes at least 32 deaths in the last 24 hours, while 86,237 people have been injured in the Gaza Strip since the war began on October 7.

Furthermore, almost 500 thousand people suffer from “catastrophic” hunger in the Gaza Strip, despite a slight improvement in the situation in the north of the territory. This is what emerges from a United Nations report released today.

According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), access to humanitarian aid has made it possible to avoid the famine feared in the latest assessment published in March, but 22% of the population in the territory besieged by Israel still faces food and desperate shortages. .
