News24 | Despite Army Chief Warnings of ‘Walking Into a Trap’, Israel Military Ready to Take over Gaza
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 5 – Netanyahu seeks to expand military control over Gaza amid warnings of prolonged conflict and risks to Israeli captives, with the Israel Defence Forces already controlling 88% of the territory.
- On August 5, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, including areas holding hostages.
- This announcement follows a brutal Israeli offensive beginning October 7, 2023, that killed over 61,000 Palestinians and collapsed ceasefire talks.
- Netanyahu's plan faces opposition from senior military leaders and some Israeli politicians who warn it risks a prolonged, endless war and endangers captives.
- U.S. President Donald Trump responded cautiously, saying, "I really cannot say," noting the U.S. gave $60 million for Gaza food aid and Israel's decision is sovereign.
- The full occupation could deepen Gaza's humanitarian crisis, intensify global criticism against Israel, and entrench a long-term conflict with increased Israeli casualties.
