Israel's plan to 'take over' Gaza City is best way to end war and defeat Hamas, Netanyahu says
GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP, AUG 10 – Israel plans to evacuate over 800,000 Gaza City residents to a humanitarian zone and launch a six-month ground offensive aimed at defeating Hamas, amid widespread opposition and humanitarian concerns.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the Israel Defense Forces have been directed to eliminate the last two key Hamas positions in Gaza City as part of the ongoing military campaign that started in January 2025.
- This offensive followed Hamas' attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and resulted in 251 hostages taken, igniting the ongoing war in Gaza.
- Netanyahu outlined a three-step humanitarian plan including safe corridors and increased aid air drops, while asserting the goal is to free Gaza rather than occupy it amid international and internal protests fearing risks to hostages.
- Hospitals have reported that at least 26 Palestinians lost their lives while attempting to access aid, with the number of children dying from malnutrition reaching 100 since the conflict began, as tens of thousands have been displaced across Gaza and the West Bank.
- The military offensive and plan to take control of Gaza City have drawn broad international condemnation, warnings of illegal forced displacement, and appeals from hostages’ families to halt the war and call for strikes.
