Der Bruder der Hamas-Geisel Evyatar David hat die internationale Gemeinschaft zur Rettung seines ausgehungerten Angehörigen aufgerufen. Die Welt müsse "jetzt zusammenkommen" und die Freilassung seines von den Islamisten misshandelten Bruders fordern, sagte Ilay David der AFP.
Netanjahu: Sicherheit nur durch Entfernung der Hamas! Zivile Regierung für Gaza geplant.

Overview

  • Israel’s Security Cabinet met on August 7 to consider a plan for full Gaza Strip occupation followed by transfer of authority to a non-Hamas civilian government.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjahu confirmed that the government aims to assume complete control of Gaza and hand governance to a vetted civilian administration.
  • Opposition leader Yair Lapid and IDF Chief Eyal Zamir cautioned that expanding the operation could imperil the roughly 20 hostages still held in Gaza and expose soldiers to lethal risks.
  • Lebanon’s Cabinet scheduled a vote on disarming the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in accordance with UN Resolution 1701 under pressure from U.S. diplomats.
  • Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem rejected any attempt at unilateral disarmament without a prerequisite Israeli withdrawal and halt of cross-border strikes.
