The United Nations Security Council has begun its emergency session on Gaza in the UN's New York headquarters in light of "Israel's" recently announced plot to occupy the Gaza Strip. 

Despite global condemnation and rejection of the plot, Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced the plan two days ago. The Israeli military leadership also expressed concerns related to the plan, including the implications that would entail Israeli captives in Gaza. 

Regardless, Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir outlined the operational foundations for the preparations to occupy Gaza City during meetings with leaders of the Southern Command and the Israeli Air Force. 

He noted that the military would maintain control over areas already captured during "Operation Chariots of Gideon," with no plans for withdrawal from the occupied territory that now makes up 75% of the Gaza Strip.

Gaza occupation plan grappled with concerns

However, the Israeli Army Radio reported that there are major concerns and a range of issues troubling the Chief of Staff and other commanders, with many unanswered questions still surrounding the feasibility of carrying out the operation and achieving optimal results.

After gaining control of Gaza City, a process expected to take several months, the Israeli military anticipates facing Hamas-led guerrilla warfare within the captured territories, requiring meticulous planning to maintain control and minimize these security risks.

The Israeli military estimates that civilians must be evacuated from Gaza City within the next two months, with the actual occupation of the city and troop deployment into its urban center set to begin in October.

According to Israeli military estimates, gaining full control over Gaza City will require an additional two to three months, meaning the operation is expected to be completed by December 2025 or early January 2026.

Zamir concluded by stating that "implementing the approved Cabinet plan will inevitably prolong the war by several additional months."
