Growing condemnation against Netanyahu’s Gaza plan

Families of Israeli hostages protest Netanyahu plan to occupy Gaza

Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet approved a plan for full military control of Gaza City, including evacuating the area and making the north a free-fire zone.
The plan has drawn widespread international condemnation from European nations, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, with some countries considering sanctions or arms export bans.
UK political leaders, including Sir Keir Starmer and Sir Ed Davey, have denounced the decision, calling for a ceasefire, increased aid, and an end to arms exports.
Concerns have been raised by Israeli hostage families and Hamas that the renewed offensive will endanger the lives of the remaining hostages held in Gaza.
While the plan faces global criticism, the US has maintained silence, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has appealed to President Trump to intervene.
