Israel’s Minister of Defense warned that the IDF is planning to “operate with full force in additional areas of Gaza.” In a post addressed directly to the people of Gaza, he says that they “will be asked to evacuate from combat zones for your own safety. The plans are already prepared and approved.”
Prepared and approved by who? He doesn’t say. He only says that Gaza is on its way to being fully occupied by Israel.
He says that the people of Gaza should “demand the removal of Hamas from Gaza and the immediate release of all Israeli hostages—this is the only way to stop the war.” He accuses Hamas of “putting your lives at risk, causing you to lose your homes and more and more territory that will be integrated into Israel’s defense formation.”
The word integrated is telling, isn’t it? This does not indicate a military mission. This means the land will become Israeli and that has been “prepared and approved.”
