The Israeli cabinet has approved a plan to seize the entire Gaza Strip and maintain a long-term military presence there, according to multiple reports.
This move comes after Israel has already taken control of about half of Gaza and signals a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called up tens of thousands of reservists to prepare for the next phase of operations. Despite over a year of intense fighting, Israel has not yet achieved its stated goals of destroying Hamas or securing the release of all hostages.
The decision raises concerns about the future stability of the region and the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
