United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres is seriously concerned with the government’s decision to ‘control the city of Gaza’.
He said that the decision “marks a dangerous growth and deepen the frightening results for millions of Palestinians, and can endanger more lives including the remaining hostages.”
The General Secretary highlighted that the Palestinians in Gaza continued to suffer “a human destruction of terrible ratio”. He warned that “This moving will lead to additional forced displacement, murders and massive destruction, which will reduce the unimaginable suffering of the Palestinian population in Gaza.”
He reiterated “a permanent ceasefire, human reach in Gaza, and his immediate appeal for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.”
The General Secretary once again “firmly urges the Israeli government to follow his obligations under international law.” He recalled that in his advisory opinion of 19 July 2024, the International Court of Justice announced, the Inter Aaliya, that the Israeli state “is subject to a liability to immediately shut down all new settlement activities, and to vacate all bus people from the occupied Palestinian region, as well as as well as to end their illegal appearance in the in -laws, as well as to end their illegal attendance in the in -laws.
He further emphasized, “There will be no permanent solution to this struggle without the end of this illegal business and the achievement of a viable two-state solution. Gaza is Gaza and should remain an integral part of a Palestinian kingdom.”
However, in a significant development, Israel’s security cabinet on Friday approved a plan to capture the city of Gaza from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister’s Office said, as reported by The Times of Israel.
According to Israel’s time, the Israel Combat will provide humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside the zone, the PMO said in a statement that it says that it was decided to return the Netanyahu’s “proposal to defeat Hamas” by the cabinet.
The Israeli cabinet approved a list of five principles in exchange for ending the conflict.
According to the time of Israel, the principles are- disarmament of Hamas, the return of all the remaining hostages, 20 of which is considered alive, demonetisation of the Gaza Strip, Israeli Safety Control on the Gaza Strip, an alternative civilian government exists which is not Hamas or Palesteinian rights.
An overwhelming majority of ministers determined that the alternative scheme presented to the security cabinet would not have secured Hamas’s defeat or the return of hostages, the PMO said.
This statement is not detailed about the above alternative alternative plan, but it refers to a proposal submitted by the IDF Chief of Staff Iil Zameer, which has expressed its opposition to capture the Gaza Strip, allowing it to give birth to a humanitarian disaster, while putting the lives of the hostages at risk.
It is not clear why the statement only refers to the city of Gaza and does not capture the entirety of the Gaza strip, as Netanyahu declared on Thursday, was his plan, as according to Israel’s time.
Gaza is a part of 25 percent of the city strip, which the IDF is yet to win, as well as several refugee camps in the Central Gaza.
It is not clear that other untouched areas outside the Gaza City will also be taken as part of the security cabinet scheme. (AI)
