The Israeli military has approved a full siege on the Gaza strip. The plan includes sending the IDF into Gaza and demolishing every single building and forcing every single civilian out.
The Israeli cabinet unanimously approved this plan, according to Haaretz, in “an effort intended to provide Israel with additional leverage in its negotiations with Hamas.”
If Gaza is empty of Palestinians, what is there to negotiate?
Haaretz quoted an Israeli insider thus: “The official said that Netanyahu has made clear that this plan differs from previous ones in that it moves from raid-based operations to ‘the occupation of territory and a sustained Israeli presence in Gaza.’”
If you think that this plan is new, you haven’t been paying attention. This has been the plan all along and who will stop it? The United Nations will continue to condemn it as it did this weekend but to no avail.
