🚨🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 BREAKING: The cabinet has approved Netanyahu's plan to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, following a 10 hour cabinet meeting.

@Palestine_Updates

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸🇵🇸 Netanyahu’s Office:

“The Political-Security Cabinet approved the Prime Minister's proposal to defeat Hamas.

The IDF will prepare to take control of the city of Gaza while providing humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside the combat zones.

An overwhelming majority of cabinet ministers believed that the alternative plan presented to the cabinet would not achieve the defeat of Hamas nor the return of the hostages”.

@Palestine_Updates

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸🇵🇸 The goals of Netanyahu’s new Gaza occupation plan:

• Disarm Hamas.

• Return all hostages - both living and deceased.

• Demilitarize the Gaza Strip.

• Enforce "israeli" security control over the Gaza Strip.

• Establish an alternative civilian government that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.

@Palestine_Updates

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸🇵🇸 Enemy Media:

“The army will target terrorist strongholds in Gaza City as the operation later expands to central refugee camps.

The intention is to occupy Gaza while the word "control" is only for official definition”.

@Palestine_Updates

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 Senior "israeli" official to Axios:

“The operation that the IDF is currently preparing for is only in Gaza City.

The goal is to evacuate all Palestinian civilians from Gaza City to the central camps and other areas by October 7.

A siege will be imposed on the Hamas militants who remain in Gaza City, and at the same time, a ground offensive will be carried out in Gaza City.

The Prime Minister and the Defense Minister have been authorized to approve the IDF's final operational plan”.

🇸🇩❌🇸🇩— In the Zamzam refugee camp, RSF forces have been revealed to have carried out the largest massacre in Sudan's history.

➡️Over 1,500 people were killed between April 11 to April 14, with the systematic murder and rape of bodies being carried out constantly. According to a Guardian investigation, bodies remain scattered in homes and fields.

🇮🇱🇸🇦❌🇵🇸 The Saudi Foreign Ministry condemns in the "strongest terms" any "israeli" move to occupy Gaza.

@Palestine_Updates

🇮🇱❌🇸🇮🇵🇸 Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon:

“I condemn Israel's announcement of its intention to seize Gaza and call on it to stop any attempt to occupy it militarily”.

@Palestine_Updates

🇮🇱❌🇳🇱🇵🇸 Dutch Foreign Minister:

“Israel's plan to intensify operations in Gaza is a wrong move.

The position of the Dutch government has always been clear: the Gaza Strip belongs to the Palestinians”.

@Palestine_Updates

🇮🇱❌🇩🇪🇵🇸 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz:

“Until further notice, we will not approve the export of military equipment to Israel that can be used in Gaza”.

@Palestine_Updates

🇮🇱❌🇩🇰🇵🇸 Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen:

“The Israeli government's decision to intensify the military operation in Gaza is wrong.

It will only lead to even greater suffering for the civilian population. We therefore call on Israel to immediately reverse this decision.

There is a need for a ceasefire, rapid and unhindered humanitarian access, the release of Israeli hostages and a lasting peace in the form of a two-state solution.

The possibilities for increasing pressure on Israel will be at the top of the agenda when we meet in the EU Foreign Ministers' Circle in Copenhagen later in August”.

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 Yedioth Ahronoth, citing IOF officials:

We fear the repercussions of the international boycott regarding the purchase of weapons and defense industry materials.

Occupying the Gaza Strip could take 3 years and requires imposing military rule.

The political leadership is pushing the army to steps that have not been studied and exposing it to the risk of suspicion of committing war crimes.

The Chief of Staff supports reaching a deal to end the war and give the army time to rebuild its ranks.

❗️🇮🇱🇺🇸🇬🇧❌🇵🇸 American, "israeli" and British aircrafts are conducting increased reconnaissance flights on the Gaza Strip today.

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 CNN, citing an "israeli" official:

“The comprehensive plan to control Gaza City is expected to take 5 months”.

@Palestine_Updates

🚨🇮🇱❌🇵🇸🇵🇸 Hamas:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:

The approval by the Zionist (Cabinet) of plans to occupy the city of Gaza and evacuate its residents; a new war crime that the occupation army intends to commit against the city and nearly one million of its inhabitants.

We affirm that what the Zionist ministerial council has approved regarding plans to occupy the city of Gaza and evacuate all its residents constitutes a fully-fledged war crime, which the fascist occupation government is planning to implement, continuing its policy of extermination, forced displacement, and brutal practices amounting to ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people.

The occupation's manipulation of terms and replacing the term “occupation” with “control” is nothing but a blatant evasion to escape legal responsibility for the consequences of its brutal crime against civilians, and at the same time represents an implicit admission that its plan violates the Geneva Conventions and poses a direct threat to the lives of nearly one million Palestinians in the city.

The decision to occupy Gaza confirms that the criminal Netanyahu and his Nazi government do not care about the fate of their captives, and they know that expanding the aggression means sacrificing them, exposing a reckless mentality that disregards the lives of prisoners to achieve failed political illusions.

This decision clearly explains the reason for the occupation's sudden withdrawal from the last round of negotiations, which was on the verge of reaching an agreement for a ceasefire and prisoner exchange.

We reiterate that during communication with the Egyptian and Qatari mediators, the movement has shown all necessary flexibility and positivity to succeed in ceasefire efforts and will spare no effort in taking all steps that pave the way to reach an agreement, including moving towards a comprehensive deal to release all occupation prisoners at once, achieving a halt to the war and withdrawal of occupation forces.

We warn the criminal occupation that this criminal adventure will cost it dearly and will not be a stroll; our people and resistance are resilient against defeat or surrender, and Netanyahu's plans, ambitions, and illusions will end in disastrous failure.

We hold the American administration fully responsible for the occupation's crimes due to its political cover and direct military support for its aggression.

We call on the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, and the International Criminal Court to bear their legal and moral responsibilities, take urgent action to stop this plan, and work to hold the occupation leaders accountable for their crimes against our Palestinian people”.

❗️🇮🇱🇪🇬🇶🇦🇵🇸🇵🇸 Hamas:

“We have provided all flexibility through the Egyptian and Qatari mediators to succeed in the ceasefire. We are ready for a comprehensive deal to release all occupation prisoners in exchange for stopping the war and withdrawing its forces. We warn the occupation that occupying Gaza City is an adventure that will cost it dearly and will not be a picnic. Our people and resistance are stubbornly unbreakable or submissive, and Netanyahu's plans and illusions will fail”.
