Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Gaza residents will be moved to the south after his security office agreed to an expanded military operation, which a minister described as a plan to “overcome the” region. “
A vote on Sunday (4) occurred hours after the army announced this You will mobilize thousands of reserve soldiersEnhancing its ability to work in the besieged Palestinian territories.
“There will be no entry and departure,” Netanyahu said in a video posted on Monday (5) in X.
“There will be a movement for the population to protect it.”
A high -ranking Israeli security employee stated that the operation in Gaza, which is called “Gideon’s vehicles”, was unanimously approved by the Security Office to subjugate Hamas and ensure the launch of all hostages.
The plan will be implemented after US President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East next week to “provide a window” for a hostage agreement.
If an agreement is not reached on the hostages, then Gideon cars operation “It will start strongly and you will not stop until all its goals are achieved,” he said.
The plan is to remove all the residents of Gaza to the south of the pocket, after that, The overall blockade of humanitarian assistance The Authority said it may be raised, adding that the army “will remain in all the areas they pick up.”
“In any temporary or permanent agreement, Israel will not empty the security zone on Gaza, which aims to protect Israeli societies and prevent the smuggling of weapons into Hamas,” the authority said.
In his video, Netanyahu said, adding that the military officers told him that “the time has come for the recommendation of the employees,” We are on the eve of a large entry to Gaza based on the recommendation of the employees. “Start the final movements“.
“The maximum goal”
The “maximum goal” of the expansion of the operation in Gaza, according to the main spokesman for the armed forces, Evy Devi, is the return of the hostages, not the defeat of Hamas.
His comments were presented just one week after Netanyahu claims that the “supreme goal” of the war is to defeat the enemies of Israel, not the hostage of the hostages.
“The main goal of the process is to return the hostages. Then – the collapse of the Hamas regime, their defeat and subjugation – but above all, the hostage of the hostages,” said Davirin answering a question about his message to the hostages.
The military spokesman was quickly condemned by the Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar bin Jafir, who said that Diderine was “confused by thinking that the army is above the political level.”
The hostage families criticized the announcement of the expansion of the war, for fear that the Israeli government gives priority to the defeat of Hamas rather than ensuring an agreement to restore Israeli hostages and be dangerous while expanding military operations.
In response to a question about whether the United States agrees to the new Israeli plan, the National Security Council spokesman, Brian Hughes, told CNN“The president has clarified the consequences that Hamas will face if he continues to maintain hostages, including the American condemnation of Alexander and the bodies of four Americans. Hamas is only responsible for this conflict and the resumption of hostilities.”
The annexation of Gaza is not restricted
“We will finally win Gaza’s tape,” said Israeli Finance Minister Bezallil Smotic on Monday.
He said at a conference in Jerusalem, referring to the Security Office on Sunday, that Attling Gaza is a possibility, and as soon as the army expanded its operations in Enclave, they will not retreat-even if Hamas agreed to a new hostage agreement, referring to the Security Office’s decision on Sunday.
He added: “Once we overcome and remain, we can talk about sovereignty (around Gaza). But I did not ask to include this in the goals of the war.” “Once the maneuver begins, there will be no removal of the lands that we pick up, not even in exchange for the hostages.”
Smotrich mainly takes care of funding the country, but it is part of the security office and has a great impact on Netanyahu, which depends on its support to prevent the collapse of the government.
More than 2,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since mid -March, when Israel launched a wave of deadly attacks, and broke the ceasefire, which was in place for about two months. More than 52,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

New help mechanism
The Council of Ministers also discussed the possibility of allowing the resumption of delivery of assistance to Gaza under a new image approved, but it has not yet been implemented, according to one of the sources.

According to one of the sources that spoke with CNNIsraeli media reports on the arguments surrounding help, “not wrong.”
Israel claims to reduce the entry of humanitarian aid to pressure Hamas to release the hostages. But international organizations claim that their actions violate international law and risks in creating industrial hunger, as some Israel accused the use of hunger as a war weapon – a war crime.
CNN said the Israeli authorities in the United States and Israel have a mechanism to hand over Gaza without passing through Hamas. The employee said an advertisement “in the coming days.”
The delivery mechanism aims to allow the help of reaching the Palestinian population who have guarantees to ensure that they are not transferred by Hamas or Islamic Jihad, according to a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The spokesman said that an unidentified private institution will manage the mechanism of assistance and provide humanitarian supplies to Gaza.
The spokesman said that the United States expects the United Nations and international assistance organizations to work with the foundation’s mechanism structure to ensure that the supplies do not reach Hamas.
The relief agencies operating in the crowded area refused the new structure to obtain auxiliary delivery on Sunday, claiming that the plan looked “designed to enhance control of basic elements” and will not guarantee that assistance will reach the most population in Gaza.
The groups said in a joint statement: “The Secretary -General of the United Nations and the emergency assistance coordinator explained that we will not participate in any plan that does not respect the global humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, independence and impartiality.”
