What is Israel going to do? Warning issued in Central Gaza, Netanyahu is hellbent on exterminating the remaining population
While Donald Trump was trying to bring about a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Benjamin Netanyahu is refusing to stop after having dinner with the US President. The Israeli PM, who had proposed shifting the people of Gaza, has now vowed to completely evacuate the area. That is why the Israeli army on Sunday issued new evacuation warnings in the central region of the Gaza Strip. This is the same area where the Israeli army’s activities on the ground have been very low so far.
After this order, the connection between the city of Deir al-Balah and the southern parts of Gaza – Rafah and Khan Younis may be cut off. This warning has come at a time when ceasefire talks are going on between Israel and Hamas in Qatar, but international mediators say that no concrete success has been achieved so far. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said several times that increasing military pressure in Gaza will put pressure on Hamas to reach an agreement. This seems to be a part of the same pattern.
Many international aid organizations are also working in the area where the evacuation has been ordered. These organizations have not yet reacted to this. Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee said that the army is going to launch a fast and serious attack in this area. He asked the local people, especially those living in tents, to move towards the Muwasi area on the southern coast of Gaza, which Israel has declared a humanitarian zone.
The fighting has been going on continuously for one and a half years
More than 2 million population of Gaza is currently facing a severe humanitarian crisis. Recall that on 7 October 2023, Hamas extremists attacked southern Israel and killed about 1200 people and took 251 people hostage. Of these, only 50 hostages are left now, of which less than half are expected to be alive. In response to this attack, the Israeli army’s operation started, in which more than 58,000 Palestinians have been killed according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Hostage Family Forum, an organization representing hostage families, has criticized Israel’s new military action and asked what the Israeli army wants to achieve in central Gaza?
