Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has won cabinet approval for a military takeover of Gaza City, framing it as the final phase to defeat Hamas and recover the last 50 hostages after 22 months of war. The plan, requiring six army divisions, aims to seize the Hamas stronghold while providing aid outside combat zones. Gaza City, home to up to 1 million civilians, has so far avoided large-scale ground incursions. The move comes amid deep international criticism over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, with over 61,000 Palestinians reported killed and half a million facing starvation.
