Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the full occupation of the Gaza Strip, emphasizing military operations to free Gazans from Hamas. Tensions between Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir have escalated. A proposal for post-war Gaza, authored by a security forum, suggests economic reconstruction and a focus on eliminating Hamas, while excluding Palestinian sovereignty. Netanyahu's stance contrasts with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar's claims of no long-term control intentions. The controversial Trump plan for resettling Gaza's population has faced international backlash.
