Netanyahu’s reversal of Gaza disengagement pits him against military chiefs; it has drawn global condemnation over a famine gripping the enclave where hostages are starving.

‘Gaza is now a...’: Hamas’ huge ‘Nazi’ declaration amid starvation crisis, Israeli fears on hostages

Overview

  • Ceasefire talks have collapsed after Hamas rejected a Qatari-mediated truce proposal and indirect negotiations were suspended.
  • Netanyahu instructed the IDF to occupy the entire Gaza Strip, reversing the 2005 disengagement to dismantle Hamas’s authority and locate hostages.
  • Military chief Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir and other senior officers oppose a full takeover, warning it could endanger captives and overstretch the IDF.
  • Gaza’s health ministry says starvation and malnutrition have claimed dozens of lives daily, and UN agencies warn of a looming famine as aid remains blocked.
  • A group of about 600 retired Israeli security officials have written to President Trump urging an immediate end to the war to alleviate civilian suffering and secure hostage releases.
