Netanyahu Orders Expansion of Israeli Control Over Gaza to 70%

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the military to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip, a move that reportedly violates the terms of a ceasefire agreement. As tensions escalate, Netanyahu emphasized the need for increased security measures, claiming that Israel must maintain security zones as long as there is a perceived danger. This directive has raised international concerns over the humanitarian impact on Palestinians, with potential displacement of millions as the Israeli army intensifies its operations in the region. Netanyahu stated that current Israeli forces have control over 60% of Gaza and are pushing towards further expansion. The situation remains precarious amidst ongoing conflicts in Lebanon and broader regional tensions.
