Netanyahu’s plans for expanded Gaza offensive spark anger and dismay at home and abroad

Like Aviv – indignation is developing on the planned offensive planned by Benjamin Netanyahu Gaza, with the news of the extended military campaign of the Israeli leader has met with the house and a conviction abroad.

An association of the Air Force Israel reserve and retired pilots published a statement calling for an “immediate end to futile war and urgent action to bring the hostages home”.

“The war waged in Gaza loses an unbearable takeover of the hostages that languish in captivity for 676 days, risks the life of our soldiers in vain, causes unnecessary damage to countless innocent civilians and degrades from Israel on Sunday to an unprecedented world,” added Sunday.

The Declaration – which was the first time that the group explicitly called at the end of the conflict – was published while the Palestinians continued to die both of Israeli fires and hunger.

The hostage families were increasingly desperate.

“The decision to send the army more deeply to Gaza is a danger to my husband, OMRI,” said Lishay Miran-Lavi, Omri Miran wife, to a press conference on Sunday, when Netanyahu defended a preliminary operation in the Palestinian Enclave besieged and bombed.

Inviting the largest companies in Israel, the unions and the technological sector to strike, she said that she had to “stop everything to save our hostages and our soldiers”.

“My husband and other hostages are faced with an extreme danger,” added Miran-Lavi.

Hamas, other Palestinian activists and civilians seized around 250 hostages during the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. Of the 50 hostages that remain in Gaza, around 20 are alive.

Families asked that the strike will take place on Sunday, according to the reuters news agency.

The Israeli security firm had approved the destruction of Hamas bastions in the “Central Camps” and Al-Mawasi, in addition to Gaza City, Netanyahu said on Sunday.

“The calendar we have put for action is fairly quickly,” he said. “We first want to allow safe areas to be established so that the civilian population of Gaza City can move.”

Israel’s goal was not to stay in Gaza – just free it from Hamas, Netanyahu added.

“We have two remaining bastions, ok? These are Gaza City and the Centrals and Mawasi Camps,” he said.

According to the United Nations, the camps are home to more than half a million Palestinians displaced during the Israeli military campaign launched by the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, in which 1,200 people were killed.

The goals, he said, understood the demilitarization of the entire Palestinian territory, the Israeli army having a “security control or a non-Israeli civil administration.

He also continued to deny that there was famine in Gaza, saying that the situation was exaggerated. “Person in Gaza would have survived after two years of war” if Israel was implementing a “famine policy,” said Netanyahu.

More than 200 Palestinians died of extreme malnutrition in Gaza, according to Palestinian health officials, even though Israel allows more aid to flow into the territory.

According to local health officials, more than 61,000 Palestinians, including thousands of children, have been killed since Israel began his military campaign on October 7, 2023, after Hamas’ terrorist attack.

World leaders also sentenced the new Netanyahu plan at an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

“The expansion of military operations did not put in danger of the life of all civilians in Gaza, including the remaining hostages, and will lead to unnecessary suffering,” said Denmark, France, Greece, Slovenia and Great Britain in a joint statement. “This is a crisis of human origin, and therefore an urgent action is necessary to stop famine and to increase the aid to Gaza.”

Later Sunday, Al Jazeera said that five of its staff members – Anas Al -Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh and Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamin Aliwa cameras – were killed “in an Israeli strike targeted on a journalist housing tent in Gaza City.”

The Israeli army said that Al-Sharif was “the head of a terrorist cell of the Hamas terrorist organization and was responsible for the progress of rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and the troops of TSAhal”.

Al-Sharif and the broadcaster belonging to Qatar have already denied charges that he was a terrorist.
