Israel’s security firm has approved a new military offensive expanded to Gaza which will lead to the complete reappearance of the enclave, despite the warning of the military that renewed fights could endanger the life of hostages and an international outcry on the toll of Palestinian civilians.

The operation will begin with the Israeli forces which will take control of the ruins of Gaza City over the months, and lead to the creation “a civil administration for the whole enclave”, triggering a new occupation of Gaza.

During a negotiation session of the marathon night, the far -right cabinet of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected alternative options presented by the Israeli army, after weeks of bitter public debate.

The government said the Israeli defense forces “would now prepare to take control of the city of Gaza” and have suggested that civilians closing in what was once the largest center of the enclave would be forced to evacuate.

The cabinet called for Israeli security control over Gaza and the possible creation of a civil administration alternative which excludes Hamas, the militant group which controlled the enclave since 2007, and the Palestinian authority, its secular rival and internationally accepted in the West Bank.

The vote comes at 22 months from the war between Israel against Hamas in Gaza, and marked a significant expansion of a conflict that world leaders, including President Donald Trump, sought to end quickly.

He paved the way for Israel to take control of the Palestinian enclave for the second time since the 1967 war, leaving the nation in effective control of all the territories between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean Sea.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described Israel’s escalation of “bad” and urged the government of Netanyahu to “reconsider immediately”.

“This action will do nothing to put an end to this conflict or to help guarantee the release of hostages. It will no longer bring blood effusions,” he said in a statement on Friday.

The Israeli army would have been opposed to this decision, which would require a new call for reserves to strengthen an exhausted army and the forced evacuation of 1 minute Palestinian civilians, many of which have been moved several times.

This would deepen a humanitarian disaster which brought Gaza to the edge of famine, with generalized famine, abdominance and illness afflicting the civilian population.

The military had warned that the enlarged operation could endanger the lives of 20 hostages held by Hamas, as well as the release of bodies of 30 others, and preferred a cease-fire as the best way to guarantee their freedom.

The “decision to continue the occupation of the Gaza Strip means abandoning hostages, while completely ignoring the repeated warnings of military leaders and … The majority of the Israeli public”, a group representing the hostage families, said in a statement.

Hamas said before the vote that Netanyahu’s move had betrayed mostly negotiations that were publicized by the United States, Qatar and Egypt to guarantee the release of hostages, which would have required a cease-fire, a resumption of humanitarian assistance, the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the band.

In an interview with Fox News before the vote, Netanyahu refused to say how long Israel will occupy Gaza, referring only to an “Arab” force to which he could consider putting it back.

“We do not want to keep it,” Netanyahu told Fox News, refusing to discuss any chronology for the duration of the FDI would control Gaza. “We want to have a security perimeter, we do not want to govern it.”

The Prime Minister’s plan could be a potential gambit to put pressure on Hamas to transform into the requirements of an exchange of hostages while soothing the far -right ministers of the Netanyahu coalition.

The opposition chief, Yair, Lapid, described the decision as a disaster that will lead to more disasters “and who folded the extreme right allies of Netanyahu while ignoring the advice of the army.

The plan “will take months, will lead to the death of the hostages, the murder of many soldiers, cost tens of billions to the Israeli taxpayer and led to political collapse”, he wrote on X.

“This is exactly what Hamas wanted: so that Israel is trapped on the ground without objective, without defining the photo of the next day, in an unnecessary occupation.”

The war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza killed at least 60,000 Palestinians, mainly women and children, according to local health officials.

He was launched by the attack on the Palestinian militant group of October 7, 2023 in southern Israel who resulted in the death of 1,200 people and 250 other people took hostage, according to Israeli officials.
