Israel's Security Cabinet Ignored Military Opposition to Approve the Plan to Control Gaza!
The office of the Israeli Prime Minister issued a statement saying that the military and political cabinet approved Netanyahu's plan to control the entire city of Gaza and expand operations in the Palestinian enclave.
While the Israeli Defense Forces conduct operations in Gaza, they will provide humanitarian aid to civilians outside the war zone.
Netanyahu's plan was opposed by the Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Aviv Kochavi, who said that hostages might be at risk as a result, the reserves of the armed forces are about to run out, and it would damage the country's international legitimacy. However, most ministers stated that any alternative plan could not destroy Hamas or ensure the return of the hostages.
Dmitry Gendelman, an advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister, said that the Israeli military and political cabinet approved five principles for ending the war: Disarming Hamas, returning all hostages, demilitarizing the Gaza Strip, Israel's security control over the Gaza Strip, and establishing an alternative civilian government unrelated to Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
