"WE WILL CONTROL ALL OF GAZA"

CONDITIONED THE EXPULSION OF PALESTINIANS TO END THE ATTACKS
Netanyahu, who first conditioned the end of Israeli attacks on the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza based on U.S. President Donald Trump's plan, emphasized that he is ready to end the attacks under clear conditions that will ensure Israel's security.
"WE WILL IMPLEMENT TRUMP'S PLAN"
Netanyahu stated, "All hostages will return home, Hamas will disarm and withdraw from governance, Hamas leaders will be expelled from Gaza, Gaza will be completely disarmed, and we will implement Trump's plan. It is a very correct and very revolutionary plan."
ISRAEL'S PERMANENT OCCUPATION PLAN
The Israeli army launched ground attacks on May 18 aimed at expanding and making the occupation permanent in Gaza. In Gaza, where airstrikes have also increased, 87 dead and 290 injured were reported to hospitals in the last 24 hours. It is reported that over 53,000 Palestinians have lost their lives in the violent attacks carried out by Israel on Gaza for 20 months, with the number of injured exceeding 121,000.
