Sky News report that Israel is expected to approve Benjamin Netanyahu's plan for a takeover of Gaza when the security cabinet meets later today.

According to the Times of Israel, the full cabinet is due to convene at 6pm local time, 4pm in the UK.

Israeli media are reporting that the plan could potentially span over five months, and it is likely to be aimed at destroying Hamas and pressuring it to free remaining hostages.

While some ministers have been critical of the plan, reports suggest Netanyahu is likely to secure a majority of support.

I have read a number of the reports on various MSM about this and I still can't understand the practical long term implications for this . If Israel take over Gaza they will be left with a decimated landscape and a hostile population that will presumably now be Israeli citizens which will be a massive drain on Israels financial resources?
Or how will it work?

Plus the hostages families in the link on Sky News are deeply unhappy with this plan, why are their voices not being heard by the administration.

No doubt the rest of the world will sit back and let this happen as well. The situation in Gaza has got to the stage where nothing is shocking any more but I really struggle to understand how humans can treat other humans like this.

I saw a number of photos on the news yesterday of Hiroshima after the bomb, and it looked just like Gaza.

Have a read of 'the doctor of Hiroshima' and see if you can spot the differences.

Sky news: What do we know about the Gaza takeover plan?

Israel would issue an evacuation notice to the residents of Gaza City in the first phase of the plan, according to Israeli broadcaster Channel 12.

This phase is expected to last several weeks, and include the establishment of civilian infrastructure in central Gaza, including hospitals and camps for evacuees.

The military offensive will then be launched in the second phase of the plan, while Donald Trump would reportedly announce the acceleration of humanitarian aid in coordination with Israel.

On Wednesday, US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Bloomberg that there was a push to add 12 aid sites to the four operated by Israel and the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Channel 12 reported that the expansion would be funded by around $1bn in donations from the US and other countries.

The military campaign is expected to last between four and five months and involve up to five Israel Defence Forces divisions, according to Israeli media.
