Gazans

ISRAEL is set to tell civilians in Gaza they have until October 7 to evacuate before they launch a full military occupation.

The Israeli security cabinet have approved a plan which will see the IDF march through Gaza City in a major final push to eliminate Hamas and secure the remaining hostages.

October 7 marks exactly two years since the terror group first launched an evil assault on Israeli civilians which killed over 1,200 people.

The IDF will try to move the population in Gaza City to the south of the Strip before commencing with its assault.

It is widely understood the plan will continue until every region in the Gaza Strip is under Israeli control.

The move is aimed at smashing the last remnants of Hamas’s grip on the war-torn enclave before handing it over to allied Arab forces.

While Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer slammed the decision as “wrong”, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that the only plan to real security for Israel was through total military control of Gaza’s remaining territory.

He said his country was “well on our way” to ensuring Gaza “doesn’t pose a threat to Israel again”.

Despite authorising a full military occupation, Netanyahu stressed that Israel does not intend to re-establish long-term rule over Gaza.

Instead, he floated the idea of transferring control to Arab states or or “an alternative civil administration that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.”

Netanyahu told Fox News on Thursday: “We intend to, in order to ensure our security, remove Hamas there, and to pass it to civilian governance that is not Hamas and not anyone advocating the destruction of Israel.

“We want to liberate ourselves and liberate the people of Gaza from the awful terror of Hamas.”

Israel’s cabinet also signed off on five guiding principles to conclude the war — a roadmap that leaves no room for compromise with Hamas.

First and foremost is the disarmament of Hamas.

Israel has made it clear that the terrorist group must be stripped of its weapons entirely – not just weakened, but dismantled – to prevent any future attacks on Israeli civilians and to break Hamas’ military stranglehold on Gaza.

The return of all hostages, both living and dead, is a non-negotiable pillar of the plan.

Israeli leaders have stressed that no resolution will be accepted unless it includes the safe return of every captive held in Gaza.

About 50 hostages are still held in Gaza — with officials estimating only 20 are alive.

Negotiations for their release broke down in July, and with each passing day, pressure builds.

Shocking videos of frail hostages and starving children have fuelled global outrage, even as Israel insists Hamas is hoarding aid to feed its own fighters.

Another central principle is the demilitarisation of the Strip.

Beyond just disarming Hamas, Israel seeks to eliminate all terrorist infrastructure – from weapons factories to underground tunnels – that have turned Gaza into a launchpad for attacks.

The goal is to create a buffer zone of peace, free from rockets, terrorists and threats.

Israel also insists on maintaining security control over Gaza.

While it has no desire to govern the territory, it does intent to ensure that no hostile elements can regroup or rearm.

That means a continued Israeli military presence and oversight, likely through a security perimeter, to prevent Hamas or any similar group from returning.

Finally, the war will only end once an alternative civil administration is in place — one that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.

Israel wants to see a neutral, functional governing body installed, ideally backed by moderate Arab states, capable of running day-to-day life in Gaza without posing a threat to Israeli citizens or enabling terror.

This vision aims to create a new future for Gaza’s people — free from the terror, tyranny, and corruption of Hamas rule.

May 29 (UPI) — Hungry Gazans broke into an aid warehouse in central Gaza on Wednesday, which caused two reported deaths, according to officials with the U.N. World Food Program.

“Hordes of hungry people broke into WFP’s Al-Ghafari warehouse in Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza, in search of food supplies that were pre-positioned for distribution,” the WFP said Wednesday in a prepared statement.

“Humanitarian needs have spiraled out of control after 80 days of complete blockade of all food assistance and other aid into Gaza,” the WFP said.

The agency said “alarming and deteriorating conditions” in Gaza and a limited availability of humanitarian aid to “hungry people in desperate need of assistance” have increased risks associated with aid distribution.

“Gaza needs an immediate scale-up of food assistance,” the WFP said. “This is the only way to reassure people that they will not starve.”

The WFP said initial reports indicate two died and several more were injured, but those reports were not confirmed as of Wednesday night.

Another 121 trucks owned by the United Nations and international organizations carrying flour, food and other aid entered Gaza on Wednesday, the BBC reported.

Wednesday’s warehouse incident occurred after Gazans overwhelmed two aid distribution sites in southern Gaza on Tuesday.

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry reported three Gazans were killed, 46 injured and seven others were missing after Israel Defense Forces fired warning shots into the air as crowds of hungry Gazans swarmed over one of the aid distribution sites, NBC News reported.

The U.N. Human Rights Office said 47 people were injured during Tuesday’s aid-distribution chaos and gunfire from Israel Defense Forces caused most of the injuries.

IDF and Gaza Humanitarian Foundation officials initially denied the reports and said no one was injured or killed during the first three days of food and aid distribution.

IDF soldiers fired into the air and did not shoot towards people, an IDF spokesperson told the BBC. The IDF is investigating the incident.

They said the GHF and IDF are preventing Hamas militants from stealing the aid from four distribution sites in southern and central Gaza, which Hamas has denied, the BBC reported.

The U.S.-supported GHF is in charge of distributing aid within Gaza after Israel ended an 11-week blockade of all aid into the war-torn Gaza Strip after a recent cease-fire deal collapsed.

At least four distribution points in southern Gaza are being used to deliver aid to Gazans, and more distribution sites are to be added, NBC News reported.

UN chief Antonio Guterres says Gazans are enduring “the cruelest phase” of the war. He denounced Israel’s blockade, calling the 400 trucks cleared to enter Gaza so far “a teaspoon of aid” when “a flood of assistance is required.”
