Politics Insider: Carney Adds to International Condemnation of Israel’s Decision to Take over Gaza City
GAZA STRIP, AUG 08 – Netanyahu's plan aims to dismantle Hamas and impose Israeli control over Gaza, forcing over 1 million residents to evacuate, risking international sanctions and democratic erosion.
- On Friday, Israel's political-security cabinet approved a plan to occupy Gaza City and take full control of the Gaza Strip, aiming to disarm Hamas, rescue hostages, and establish a civilian administration.
- Despite warnings from Eyal Zamir, Netanyahu’s office announced the security cabinet approved the plan after an all-night session, based on five principles, on October 7, 2023.
- At least a million of Gaza's 2.1 million people will be forced to move, and Israel will need to mobilize vast numbers of conscripts and reservists, with some refusing to fight.
- Amid global outcry, Germany has banned weapon sales for Gaza, while Australia condemned the decision and South Africa leads war crimes efforts, with 60 per cent of Americans disapproving.
- Later this year, as Gaza City is evacuated, European sanctions on Israel are expected amid ongoing killings, eroding its democratic claims.
