In a move that has sparked international condemnation, Israel’s security cabinet has approved an expansion of its military offensive in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement to take control of Gaza City has raised alarms globally, with world leaders issuing statements and the United Nations warning of a potential “calamity” in the besieged enclave.
The UN Security Council held a rare emergency meeting following Netanyahu’s declaration, with officials expressing concerns that the move could violate international law. The push to seize Gaza City comes amid a wave of criticism from various nations, including eight European countries, with Ireland among those urging Israel to abandon its plans.
Thousands of protesters in Israel have also intensified pressure against Netanyahu’s proposal, with local media calling the anti-government rally one of the largest in 22 months of war. The ongoing conflict has already resulted in significant casualties, including reports of five more people in Gaza dying from starvation, bringing the total toll to 217, with 100 children among the victims.
The situation in Gaza remains precarious, with the potential for further escalation and humanitarian crisis looming large. As the international community grapples with the implications of Israel’s military offensive, calls for de-escalation and a peaceful resolution to the conflict have grown louder.
