<\/a>Netanyahu Says Israel Intends to Take Full but Temporary Control of Gaza as Hostage<\/span> Families Organize Flotilla<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nDebbie Weiss<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israel intends to take full military control of Gaza to secure its borders until it can hand governance of the enclave over to Arab authorities, vowing to \u201cliberate\u201d the Palestinians of Gaza from the ruling terrorist group Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe intend to control all of Gaza. We don\u2019t want to keep it. We want a security perimeter. We don\u2019t want to govern [Gaza]. We don\u2019t want to be there as a governing body. We want to hand Gaza over to Arab forces that will govern [the territory] properly,\u201d Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe want to liberate ourselves and liberate the people of Gaza from the awful terror of Hamas,\u201d the Israeli premier added. \u201cIn order to assure our security, remove Hamas there, enable the population to be free of Gaza and to pass it to civilian governance \u2026 The only way that you\u2019re [going to] have a different future is to get rid of this neo-Nazi army. Hamas are monsters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Netanyahu\u2019s comments came shortly before the Israeli security cabinet convened to discuss and likely approve the plan to expand the war.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, a flotilla carrying the families of Israeli hostages set sail from Ashkelon in southern Israel toward the Gaza maritime border on Thursday in a bid to pressure Israel\u2019s government and the international community to act amid renewed fears for the 50 living and dead Israelis still held by Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n The 11-vessel convoy, called \u201cFlotilla 50,\u201d was flanked by military and police boats, and bore yellow flags and yellow lifebuoys \u2013 which were later lowered into the sea \u2013 symbolizing the hostages\u2019 plight.<\/span><\/p>\n The families said in a statement that the move was \u201ca desperate cry\u201d aimed at raising awareness in the international arena but also to call on the Israeli government not to take action that would endanger their loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n The maritime protest came ahead of a key security cabinet meeting scheduled for Thursday evening, where ministers are expected to approve an escalation of military operations in Gaza to include a possible occupation of the Strip. The move has drawn domestic backlash, with thousands expected to protest across the country on Thursday night.<\/span><\/p>\n Michel Illouz, father of slain hostage Guy Illouz, blasted Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), but expressed his fear that pushing for him to step down would make way for the government to put a \u201cyes-man\u201d in his place.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe state has deliberately sabotaged efforts from the start. This decision to conquer Gaza will send soldiers to their deaths, I\u2019m certain,\u201d he told the Ynet news site.<\/span><\/p>\n Haggai Angrest, father of kidnapped IDF soldier Matan Angrest, said he had \u201ctrust in the IDF chief of staff\u201d Zamir but called to \u201cput an end to this insanity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Israel\u2019s military chief reportedly pushed back against Netanyahu\u2019s plans to seize areas of Gaza it doesn\u2019t already control during meetings earlier this week. The Israeli military says it already controls 75 percent of Gaza after nearly two years of war.<\/span><\/p>\n Many hostage families fear that a military expansion into the remaining areas will lead Hamas terrorists to execute the remaining hostages who are still alive.<\/span><\/p>\n Angrest said he would shout out to his abducted son from offshore \u201cso he knows I\u2019m here, so he can hold on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Representatives from the families broadcast the \u201cMayday\u201d maritime emergency signal on a megaphone and read out the names of the 50 hostages.<\/span><\/p>\n Two days earlier, Ilay David, the brother of 24-year-old hostage Evyatar David, addressed the United Nations in New York after a video was released by Hamas showing the severely malnourished hostage digging his own grave.<\/span><\/p>\n David said he and his mother could not watch the video of his brother, but his father and sister did. \u201cNow the images haunt them,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAs my younger brother, a living skeleton, was forced to speak and dig his grave, the chubby and well-fed hand of a Hamas terrorist entered the frame,\u201d David added. \u201cSuddenly, Hamas confirmed what we have known for months \u2014 the terrorists have plenty of food. The only ones starving in Hamas\u2019s tunnels are the hostages: my brother, Guy, and the [49] others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He added that the terrorists are behind a curtain eating plenty of food while starving his brother and the other hostages.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the UN\u2019s own data, the vast majority of humanitarian aid entering Gaza is intercepted before reaching its intended civilian recipients, fueling concerns among Israeli officials and international observers about systemic aid diversion by Hamas and other armed groups in the enclave.<\/span><\/p>\n David blasted the UN for not discussing the humanitarian crisis of the hostages. \u201cNot in the Security Council, and not in other UN forums. The very soul of humanity is being scarred by Hamas\u2019s barbaric actions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYour silence in the face of this monstrous cruelty is complicity,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n David later told The Algemeiner that he addressed the UN because he felt he had no other choice.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe world needs to see what we see \u2013 my little brother, Evyatar, starving in real time \u2026 his body wasting away. I couldn\u2019t stay silent,\u201d he said. \u201cIf it were your brother, your child, your best friend, you would want the world to listen. I spoke because I had no other choice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Hamas-led Palestinian terrorists started the ongoing war on Oct. 7, 2023, with their invasion of southern Israel, where they massacred about 1,200 people, kidnapped over 250 hostages, and perpetrated widespread sexual violence.<\/span><\/p>\n Israel responded with a military campaign aimed at freeing the hostages, most of whom have been freed as part of temporary ceasefires or Israeli rescue missions, and dismantling Hamas\u2019s military and governing capabilities in Gaza, which borders the Jewish state to the south.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI know that right now the eyes of the world are on Gaza. But if you care about humanitarian suffering, then you must also demand answers about the hostages. Are they receiving food? Water? Medical care? Where is the proof?\u201d David said.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Netanyahu Says Israel Intends to Take Full but Temporary Control of Gaza as Hostage Families Organize Flotilla Debbie Weiss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks during \u2018Christian Conference\u2019 in Jerusalem, July 27, 2025.
