rtl.nl (Dutch)

Israel plans to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli media reports. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly decided to take control of the entire Palestinian territory. The decision follows months of ceasefire and hostage negotiations. Netanyahu stated that military operations would occur even in areas where hostages are held, potentially overriding military objections. This potential full occupation comes as Israel controls about 86% of Gaza. The plan, if approved, would place the entire enclave under Israeli control, with unclear implications for civilians and aid organizations.
