We want a security perimeter. We do not want to control it.

What can it mean

If Israel takes the “complete control” of Gaza, it will reverse the decision made in 2005 when Israel withdrew its soldiers and settling people from the region. Since then, Israel has controlled Gaza’s borders, airspace and utilities.The step can also mean that the Israeli army will enter parts of Gaza which does not yet control.A source said that Palestinians may be given withdrawal notices in some parts of Gaza, possibly allowing them a few weeks before entering Israeli forces.Some right -wing leaders in Israel argue that the 2005 Pulout from Gaza won the election in 2006 and helped Hamas grow power.Israeli PM Netanyahu has said that the goal is to defeat Hamas and save the remaining hostages, but it is not clear whether the scheme is short -term or some longer.

Israel fulfilled five conditions to end the Gaza war

The Israeli cabinet has approved five major principles to end the war in Gaza. This includes:

  • Disarray of Hamas
  • Return of all 50 remaining hostages, 20 of which are considered alive
  • Demandalization of Gaza Strip.
  • Israeli security control on Gaza Strip.
  • The existence of an alternative citizen government which is not Hamas or Palestinian Authority.

Arab countries are not on board

So far, no Arab country has agreed to help Gaza after the war. A Jordan official told Reuters, “Arab countries will only support what the Palestinians agreed and decided.” He said that security should be managed by Palestinian institutions.A Hamas leader, Osama Hamdan, told Al Jazira that any force trying to operate Gaza with Israel would be considered as “occupied” power.Earlier this year, Egypt proposed a plan supported by Arab countries to establish a neutral Palestinian committee to run Gaza after the war. But both Israel and the United States rejected it.

Opposition in Israel increases over hostages

While Netanyahu talks about expanding war, many Israel want the fight to stop the remaining hostages. About 50 hostages are still being held in Gaza, and officials believe that about 20 of them are still alive.On Thursday, hundreds of protesters gathered outside Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem. He indicated the faces of the hostages and indicated for the immediate deal.A protector, Noa Starkman said, “I am here because I am sick and tired of this government. It has ruined our lives.”The forum of hostage families urged the Israeli military head to oppose any new attacks that could delay the talks.

We and the United Nations respond carefully

The United Nations said that it is “deeply concerned” that Israel can expand its operations. The White House has not officially responded, and US President Donald Trump has refused to say if he supports the full acquisition of Gaza of Israel.

The situation in Gaza remains serious

The Israeli army says it now controls about 75 percent of Gaza. But most of Gaza’s 2 million people have been displaced several times in the last 22 months. Help groups are warning that the famine is very close.Aya Mohammad, a resident, said, “Where should we go? We have been displaced and have been insulted quite humiliated.”Hamas says that it will only agree to a deal that permanently eliminates the war. Israel says that Hamas is not serious about leaving power.
