Israel Plans to Occupy and Flatten All of Gaza

May 5, 2025 · 2:16 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Israel has set President Trump’s visit to the Middle East next week as a deadline for a new hostage and ceasefire deal, with a massive ground operation to commence if no deal is reached,” Axios reports.

“Israel’s Security Cabinet approved a plan Sunday night to gradually reoccupy all of Gaza and hold it indefinitely if no deal is reached by May 15. Plans for the operation call for the Israel Defense Forces to flatten any buildings that remain standing and displace virtually the entire population of 2 million people to a single ‘humanitarian area.'”
