Israel's Security Cabinet authorized the military to expand operations in Gaza and take control of Gaza City, one of the last territories not fully occupied. The UN reports that 90% of Gaza is under military control. Israeli officials aim to disarm Hamas and retrieve hostages while establishing security control before ending the conflict. Public opinion is divided, with many Israelis desiring an end to the war, while some military figures express opposition to the expansion. Meanwhile, Vance is discussing redistricting with GOP leaders amid escalating tensions in Texas.
Before the cabinet meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that Israel intends to take over Gaza, but not keep it. Public opinion on the decision is split.
According to the United Nations, 90% of Gaza is already under military control or off-limits to Palestinians. The aim of the plan is to disarm Hamas, get hostages back and establish Israeli security control of Gaza.
