Israel's plan for Gaza draws international criticism

Israel announced on May 6, 2025, plans to expand its military offensive to conquer and occupy the Gaza Strip, which houses 2.4 million Palestinians.
The offensive follows the assault launched by Hamas on Israel in early October 2023, alongside an Israeli blockade lasting two months since March 2025 that has intensified the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The plan includes calling up reservists, forcibly displacing nearly all Gaza residents to a small southern zone, and pressuring them to leave for third countries.
Far-Right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated Gaza will be "entirely destroyed" within months, and civilians will be moved south before leaving internationally.
International leaders condemned the plan as unacceptable and violating humanitarian law while Gaza faces famine and no aid distribution, intensifying calls for pressure on Israel’s government.
