9:51Now PlayingIsrael's Security Cabinet has approved a plan proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the Israeli military (IDF) to take over Gaza City.
Under the plan, framed as a way of defeating Hamas, "the IDF will prepare to take control of Gaza City while distributing humanitarian assistance to the civilian population outside combat zones," it said.
Earlier, Netanyahu said Israel intended to take military control of the entire Gaza Strip, but the plan approved on Friday focused specifically on Gaza City, the largest city in the enclave, located in its north.
Netanyahu said Israel wanted to hand over the territory to Arab forces that would govern Gaza, adding Israel did not want to be there as a governing body, according to Reuters.
The move comes despite growing criticism of Israel both at home and abroad over the expansion of its military operations in Gaza, which it launched in response to Hamas' terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.
