Palestine: Israeli cabinet panel approves plan to take control of Gaza City

Source: Reuters

“Israel’s political-security cabinet approved a plan to take control of Gaza City early on Friday, hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel intended to take military control of the entire strip despite intensifying criticism at home and abroad over the devastating almost two-year-old war. … Two government sources said any resolution by the security cabinet would need to be approved by the full cabinet, which may not meet until Sunday. … Outside the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem on Thursday evening, hundreds of demonstrators protested against an expanded war, demanding an immediate end to the military campaign in return for the release of all the hostages.” (08/07/25)
