The security cabinet approved overnight Thursday-Friday a proposal by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take over the densely populated Gaza City, the premier’s office announced in a statement, bucking warnings from the Israel Defense Forces that the operation risks the lives of the remaining hostages in addition to potentially sparking a humanitarian disaster, APA reports citing The Times of Israel.
Ministers also endorsed five principles to be fulfilled for the war to end: Hamas’s disarmament, the return of all hostages, Gaza’s demilitarization, ongoing Israeli security control of Gaza, and a post-war civilian government that excludes Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
