PNN – The complete occupation of the Gaza Strip is part of a new criminal plan designed by the Zionists with American support, and the international media is warning about its deadly dangers.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Al Jazeera, the Israeli security cabinet on Friday, in a move that indicates a dangerous escalation of the situation in the Gaza war, approved a plan for the complete occupation of the strip, which would begin with the capture of Gaza City and the forced displacement of its residents.
In this context, international experts and observers warn about the numerous dangers of this decision. In their reports, the British and American media examined the details of the Gaza occupation plan and its humanitarian, political, and military dimensions, as well as the different reactions to this plan. The British newspaper iPaper quoted the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as claiming that the plan includes “principles for ending the Gaza war, providing humanitarian aid outside of the war zones, and handing over the Gaza Strip to a civilian government.”

Forced displacement of Gaza City residents
The English media emphasized: Tel Aviv’s plan will begin with the capture of Gaza City itself and the forced expulsion of its residents to the south, especially the coastal area of Al-Mawasi. According to a report by the Israeli Channel 12 TV, the US will provide logistical and humanitarian support for the plan through a temporary civilian infrastructure, and observers estimate that the takeover of Gaza City and the central areas will take approximately 5 months.
According to the report, while Netanyahu claims that this plan is to eradicate Hamas and ensure the security of the Zionists, experts and observers confirm that this step could lead to a new wave of displacement, exacerbate the famine crisis that has engulfed Gaza, and endanger the lives of Zionist prisoners in Gaza.
The Washington Post, citing sources familiar with the details of the Israeli cabinet meeting to approve the Gaza occupation plan, reported that the transfer of Gaza City residents to alternative areas will take about two months.
Ahmed Salem, a 35-year-old Palestinian citizen who is a father of three and lives in Gaza City, stated in an interview with the Washington Post: I don’t know where they want to deport us to? Gaza is very small and life in such conditions is very difficult.
Obstacles and challenges of the occupation of Gaza for the Zionists
He said that the Zionist army is completely exhausted in terms of equipment and manpower and needs to mobilize reserves to occupy the remaining 25 percent of Gaza, and all forces are now completely exhausted. Currently, there are about 4 military divisions in the Gaza Strip; while at least six divisions are needed to completely occupy the Gaza Strip.
Robert Kyst Penfold, a lecturer in international security at King’s College London, warned that expanding the occupation in Gaza would horribly exacerbate the famine crisis, given that 80 percent of the strip’s population is concentrated in just 20 percent of its area.
The British newspaper iPaper reported that experts warn that a complete occupation of Gaza would also endanger the lives of Israeli prisoners in the strip, as there is a possibility that they will be killed by the army’s own forces. The plan is also facing opposition within the army itself, with Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir insisting that the forces are exhausted and there is insufficient equipment and manpower; especially since the plan to occupy Gaza would require a massive mobilization of reserve forces, amid growing public opposition to continuing the war.
According to this British media outlet, analysts believe that extremist ministers in Netanyahu’s cabinet, especially Smotrich and Ben-Gwer, are trying to turn the temporary occupation of Gaza into a permanent one and displace Palestinians from the strip to pave the way for Zionist resettlement.
Mukhlis al-Masri, a 34-year-old Palestinian citizen who was forced to flee his home in the northern Gaza Strip, told the New York Times: The Zionists are talking about occupying the densely populated areas of Gaza, and if this happens, a great mass death will be on the way, and the situation will become much more dangerous than one can imagine.
