  • Netanyahu's Gaza remarks undermine ceasefire efforts: Hamas

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, stated Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements regarding full military control over the Gaza Strip constitute a "coup" against the negotiations aimed at a ceasefire in the Strip.

The movement stated that "Netanyahu's plans to expand the aggression confirm that he seeks to get rid of his captives and sacrifice them to serve his personal interests."

The movement affirmed that Gaza will resist occupation and not accept guardianship over it, emphasizing that any expansion of aggression will not be a "Walk in the park" but come at heavy price for the occupation and its forces. 

Hamas called on Arab and Islamic countries and the international community to condemn and reject these dangerous statements, take urgent action to halt the aggression and end the occupation, empower the Palestinian people to exercise their right to self-determination, and "hold the enemy's leaders accountable for their ongoing crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip."

Netanyahu told Fox News Thursday that "Israel" needs to take full military control of the Strip before handing it over to the forces that will govern it properly.

"We don't want to keep it. We want to have a security perimeter. We don't want to govern it."

He added that "Israel" intends to hand it over to "Arab forces that will govern it properly without threatening us, and giving Gazans a good life."

Military chief said to clash with Netanyahu over plans to conquer Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Occupation Forces Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir have reportedly clashed on Wednesday over a controversial plan to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, with Zamir warning the move would be a "trap" for the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and could endanger captives still held in the enclave.

The confrontation, reported by Israeli media outlets, occurred during a three-hour closed-door meeting of senior cabinet members ahead of a vote on Thursday to approve the occupation plan. Netanyahu, under pressure from far-right coalition partners, is said to be pushing forward with full occupation as negotiations with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza have stalled.

According to reports, Zamir told Netanyahu, "You’re going to create a trap in Gaza," adding that full occupation would "significantly endanger the lives of the hostages and cause erosion in the army."

The tension between Netanyahu and Zamir intensified following a social media post by the prime minister’s son, Yair Netanyahu, who holds no official government role. In the post, he accused Zamir of orchestrating a "rebellion and attempted military coup that is fit for a banana republic in Central America in the 70s."
