Five questions about the Israeli plan for occupying the entire Gaza – BBC News in Serbian

The Israeli government approved a plan for expanding military offensive in Gaza and the occupation of greater territory.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Israeli security cabinet decided for « violin surgery » destruction of Hamas and rescue the remaining hostages, while 2.1 million inhabitants will be moved, to be protected. « 

This step caused concern and an international debate on his consequences.

What is the Israeli plan for Gaza?

The proposal approved by the Israeli Security Cabinet includes « taking » the gauze, controlling its territory, « raped attacks » against Hamas, at the same time, withholding the ability to share humanitarian supplies at the same time.

The extended campaign will move most of the Palestinians to the south of Gaza while airstrikes and other military operations continued.

According to reports in Israeli media, the first phase of the plan includes taking additional fields of gauze and expanding the « buffer zone », which Israel set along the borders of the territory.

The proposal also includes a plan for sharing help through private companies, which will end the two-month blockage for which the United Nations say that it led to severe food shortages.

Critics say that military action failed to provide the return of 59 remaining hostages, of which there are still alive, and invited the government to reach an agreement with Hamas.

Netanjahu did not say how much the territory will take the Israeli army, but he pointed out that they « will not only enter and go out. »

The plan is believed to be applied only after the visit of the US President Donald Tramp between 13. and 16. May, providing, « the window of opportunities » for Hamas to agree to the new truce and the hostage agreement.

Why is it fearful from starvation?

The recent announced plan has renewed concern about the risk of general famine in Palestine enclaves.

Israel is 2. Marta closed all border crossings in Gaza, preventing all the goods, which includes food, fuel and medication, and continued military offensive for two weeks later, ending a two-month truce with Hamas.

Israeli authorities say the aim of these steps was to put pressure on Hamas to release the hosts he holds.

But there are increasing internal pressure to Israel to abolish the blockade, with warning that mass starvation is closer and the deliberate starvation of civilian war crimes.

The United Nations and UNRRRA Food Food Program, the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees, said they used all food assistance supplies.

According to the United Nations, the population faces a renovated risk of hunger and malnutrition of which warehouses are empty, bakers closed, and folk cuisines are in a few days from staying without stock.

The blockade was cut and the inflow of basic drugs, vaccines and medical equipment necessary for an overloaded health system in Gaza.

But Israel persistently insists that there is no shortage of help on the territory.

Israel accused Hamas to steal and store humanitarian aid to give his fighters or selling for money.

The UN and other agencies deny that the help is redirected and say they have strict monasters.

After the latest announcement of plans to share help through private companies, the UN and other assistance agencies said that the proposal would be a violation of basic humanitarian principles and that they would not cooperate.

How does international law define hunger?

The hunger comes when the country has so much food shortage that its population faces acute malnutritional, starving or death.

The status is usually declared UN, sometimes in cooperation with the country in question, and often together with other international organizations for assistance or humanitarian agencies.

It decides with the help of the UN scale called an integrated classification of nutritional phase (IPC).

It evaluates food shortages in the country – or uncertainty – in relation to the five « phase » weight, with hunger as fifth and worst.

In order to be officially declared hunger, three things must be in a specific geographical area, for:

• At least 20 percent of households faced extreme food shortages;
• At least 30 percent of children suffer from acute malnutrition;
• Two adults or four children to 10,000 people die every day « from direct gladding or due to malnutrition or illness caused by her ».

The starvation of civilians as a method of war prohibited in international law defined in the Geneva Convention.

The UN say Israel is obliged to international law to provide inventories for the population of Gaza, of which almost everyone is displaced.

Israel claims to adhere to international law and that there is no shortage of help.

But the latest plan to allow inventory of assistance to South Gaza over the hub controlled by the Army, a humanitarian agency of the United Nations Ocha, who said it looks like a « intentional attempt to turn help to turn into weapons. »

Hamas official told BBC that the Palestinian Group was no longer interested in the truce negotiations until Israel continues to block all deliveries to Gaza.

However, Israel pointed out that he closely follows the situation on the field.

He says more than 25,000 trucks that carried almost 450,000 tons of help entered the gauze during the truce in Gaza.

Tramp recently stated that he said Netanyahua how « we have to be good towards Gaza » and put pressure on him to allow more food and drugs in his belt.

There was no official answer to that, but earlier this week, Israeli Foreign Minister rejected criticism of Great Britain, France and Germany, which described the blockade as « inadmissible » and insisted that « she must stop ».

How did we get here?

The Israeli army launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an inviolable cross-border attack 7. October 2023, which killed about 1,200 people, and 251 others were taken for hostages.

Since then, at least 52,567 people were killed in Gaza, including 2,459 of them since Israeli offensiva continued, according to the Ministry of Health, which leads Hamas in the territory.

The first of the three phases of the Truce agreement that took effect in January and which Hamas acquitted 33 hostages in exchange for the Israeli release of about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and enabling other goods to enter the gauze belt.

When the battles stopped and thousands of displaced residents of Gaza returned to houses, Hamas and Israel was supposed to start crossing negotiations into another phase.

The parties agreed that the second phase of the negotiations include the release of all remaining hostages as well as the full withdrawal of the Israeli forces from the gaza belt, which would lead to the lasting end of the war.

The first phase was over 1. March, but negotiations for the next stage did not make progress.

How big is the gauze and who controls it?

Since 2007. years, Hamas is a facto ruling body for Gaza.

The land belt is 41 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide; It is surrounded by Israel, Egypt and Mediterranean Sea.

Hamas, who was declared a terrorist organization in Israel, America and some other Western countries, won the 2006 parliamentary elections in 2006. years and strengthened the power after expelled Rival Fatah from the enclave.

In the years that followed, Hamas and Israel fought in several major conflicts that include those from 2008/09, 2012. and 2014 years.
