Except for the five principles that have been adopted for ending the war, the plan is already dawning, as well as the phases through which Gaza will be conquered overall.
Initial phase: The deadline for the first phase of operation, including the evacuation of Gaza City and the expansion of humanitarian aid distribution, is October 7th, according to the source
October 7th of 2025 is the second anniversary of the Hamas-led attack that triggered Israel's war in Gaza. The date was deliberately chosen because of its symbolic, the source said.
According to a second Israeli source, Israel will significantly expand its humanitarian aid efforts at the beginning of the first phase, but the plan does not provide for distribution of aid within the City of Gaza as a way to encourage Palestinians to evacuate.
General plan is expected to last up to five months, Israeli official said CNN before the cabinet vote.
The approved plan is somewhat more limited than a complete takeover of the entire enclave, focusing only on Gaza City and excluding surrounding camps.
However, it does involve the forced evacuation of nearly half the territory's population. The Israeli army already controls 75 percent of Gaza.
Military Reserve: Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned the security cabinet of the risk of worsening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the international consequences of such a escalation of war, according to the first source, but his warnings were ignored.
Zamir also warned members of the security cabinet of the impending risk of 50 remaining hostages, of which 20 are thought to be still alive.
Instead, Zamir presented a more limited plan focused on the siege of Gaza City and other areas, but the source said the security cabinet rejected the plan.
In an apparent reference to Zamir's proposal, Netanyah's office said an alternative <x0 plan that had been presented the security cabinet would not achieve either the destruction of Hamas or the return of hostages”. /Periscope
