Caption: Netanyahu Defends Gaza City Takeover Amid UN Warnings. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended the planned military takeover of Gaza City, despite increasing global criticism and warnings from the UN. Netanyahu argues that the operation to capture Gaza City is the quickest way to end the war, claiming it is the best path to peace. The Israeli security cabinet approved the Gaza City operation, citing goals to destroy Hamas and free hostages, though it raises fears of worsening the humanitarian crisis. The UN has condemned the plan, with officials warning it could lead to “another calamity” in Gaza, exacerbating displacement and suffering. Hunger-related deaths, especially among children suffering from severe malnutrition, have been rising in Gaza, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The UK, Russia, China, France, and other nations have expressed strong opposition, calling the operation a violation of international law. Humanitarian conditions in Gaza are worsening, with the UN describing the situation as "starvation, pure and simple.” The international community, including Denmark, Greece, and Algeria, has urged Israel to reconsider its military actions, fearing further devastation of Gaza. Netanyahu’s plan could bring Israel closer to fully occupying Gaza, a move not seen in nearly 20 years, with approximately 75% of Gaza already under Israeli military control.
