According to the Israeli press, the premier government plans to occupy areas also in which the hostages are kept by Hamas, despite the opposition of military and family sectors of the kidnapped. (04/08) Various vehicles of the Israeli press.




The information on the plans of the Netanyhu government has been published a few days after Hamas published a new video showing a debilitated Israeli hostage and in the midst of a stalemate in the negotiations between the Palestinian group and Israel.

A source of the office of Netanyahu confirmed in place of Jerusalem that the Prime Minister made the decision to fully occupy the Gaza track, despite the opposition of different Israeli defense forces (Idi). “The prime minister’s office sent the message to the head of the staff (Army, Eyal Zamir): if this is not suitable, then it vanishes,” said a source of the premier office, referring to General Netanyahu.

According to the Times of Israel, the opposition of the armed forces derives from the concern that Hamas will hinder with the advance of troops, as happened at the end of August 2024 with six hostages. The organizations that represent the guests of the hostages of Hamas in 2023 have also felt the risks of expanding the occupation of Gaza, fearing the safety of the hostages.

However, according to Israeli printing vehicles, the Netanyahu government is convinced of launching total employment. The order information provided to the IDS was also issued by the I24 and Keshet 12 channels and by the Ynet portal. “Luck is released – we will fully occupy the Gaza Strip,” said a cabinet member, according to Ynet. In May, the United Nations had estimated that 70% of Gaza was under Israeli employment or the objective of evacuation orders.

So far they have mainly been ministers of the far right and partner of the ultra -verrele coalition of the Netanyahu government who had asked for full capture of the Gaza Strip. They also ask for the deportation of the Palestinian population in other countries and the establishment of Jewish colonies in the enclave.

According to the reports of the Israeli press, General Zamir would have been involved in heated discussions with the distant ministers in the previous meetings of the country’s security office.

The opposition to the plans also comes from other sectors. Later this week, over 500 former security officials of Israel, including several former Mossads and internal security agency, made his chat in the President of the United States Donald Trump, who pushes Netanyahu to end the war. “Stop the war in Gaza!”, The letter exhorts, signed by 550 former espionage, soldiers, police and diplomats.

Netanyahu “is leading Israel to ruin and hostages, to death”, the main organization of the kidnapped family members denounced the forum of the families of obstacles. “22 months ago, the illusion is sold that military pressure and intense combat will return back”, but these speeches “are nothing more than lies and errors”, have evaluated family members.

Of the 251 people kidnapped by Hamas during his attack on Israel, 49 were not released and of these 27 they would have died, estimated the Israeli army.

The war in Gaza was triggered by the terrorist offensive launched by the Hamas group in Israel on 7 October 2023, which left the 1,219 killed, most of the civilians, according to a survey based on official data.

Israel’s retaliation offensive has already killed over 60,000 people in the Gaza strip, mainly civilians, according to the Ministry of Health of the territory, governed by Hamas, considered reliable by the United Nations.
