On Thursday, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, announced a plan for Israel to take full military control of the Gaza Strip. The idea is to create a secure buffer zone, but Netanyahu was clear that Israel wouldn't be in charge of governing the area.
This plan has caused a lot of controversy, both in Israel and abroad.
Opposition and Protest
Many people are speaking out against Netanyahu's proposal. The families of hostages being held in Gaza are worried this new military action could put their loved ones in even more danger.
During a special cabinet meeting about the plan, the head of a kibbutz—a type of collective community in Israel—even stopped a ceremony to protest. He declared there could be no "victory" without the safe return of the hostages.
It's reported that even Israel's chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, has warned the prime minister that occupying Gaza would be risky for the hostages and that the military forces were already stretched thin.
Worsening Humanitarian Crisis
The situation for people in Gaza is still very bad. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently shared some alarming news, reporting the highest number of child malnutrition cases ever recorded in a single month.
The medical group Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has also made a serious claim, calling for the closure of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). They said that the GHF's aid sites are being used as places for "orchestrated killing."
Other Developments
The article also highlighted other tragic events. A well-known footballer, nicknamed the "Palestinian Pelé", was killed during an Israeli attack while waiting for food aid.
Finally, more than 200 writers signed a letter calling for a boycott of Israel.
