The United Nations has sounded the alarm over Israel’s reported plan to fully reoccupy Gaza. Assistant Secretary General Miroslav Jenča warned of “catastrophic consequences” for millions of Palestinians and Israeli hostages. This comes after Israeli media reported Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s push for total control of Gaza. At AMERICA NEWS WORLD, we dive into the details of this escalating crisis.
Netanyahu is set to meet his security cabinet on Thursday to discuss the plan. A senior Israeli official said, “We’re going for the full conquest of Gaza and defeating Hamas.” However, the move has sparked division. Israel’s army chief and military leaders reportedly oppose the strategy. Meanwhile, families of hostages fear for their loved ones’ safety.
Why This Matters
The Gaza conflict has already claimed over 60,000 Palestinian lives, according to Gaza’s health ministry. Israel’s military controls 75% of Gaza, but reoccupying the entire region could worsen the humanitarian crisis. UN agencies report mass starvation, with 63 malnutrition-related deaths this month alone. Jenča called for a ceasefire and urged Israel to allow more humanitarian aid. “The conditions in Gaza are inhumane,” he said.
Moreover, the plan could be a tactic to pressure Hamas after failed ceasefire talks. Alternatively, it might aim to please Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners. Either way, the stakes are high. US President Donald Trump, when asked about the plan, said, “That’s up to Israel.”
The Humanitarian Crisis
Gaza faces a man-made famine, with over 1,200 Palestinians killed at food distribution sites since May. The Hamas-run health ministry reported 154 deaths, including 89 children, due to starvation since October 2023. Israel denies restricting aid, claiming there is “no starvation” in Gaza. Yet, UN experts disagree, warning of a deepening crisis.
For instance, Jenča stressed that Gaza must remain part of a future Palestinian state under international law. He condemned Israel’s restrictions on aid, saying they are “grossly inadequate.” Families of the 49 hostages still held in Gaza, 27 of whom are believed dead, are pleading for peace.
Global Reactions
The international community is watching closely. Protests, like the recent pro-Palestinian march in Sydney, show growing concern. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed as thousands rallied for peace. Similarly, a BBC report highlighted global outrage over the Gaza crisis. At AMERICA NEWS WORLD (america112.com), we’re committed to bringing you the latest updates on this issue.

The security cabinet’s decision could shape the future of Gaza. If approved, the reoccupation plan might escalate violence and worsen the famine. On the other hand, military leaders’ opposition could force a rethink. For now, the world waits anxiously.
