On Monday, Israeli ministers agreed on a controversial plan to capture the entirety of Gaza and maintain a prolonged presence in the region, according to a report by the Associated Press citing unnamed officials.
The proposed plan involves relocating hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to the southern part of Gaza. The move is reportedly part of a broader strategy to apply pressure on Hamas for the release of hostages and to push for a ceasefire agreement favorable to Israel.

The new development comes after the collapse of a previous ceasefire deal in March. Since then, Israel has resumed airstrikes across Gaza, leading to significant civilian casualties. The Israeli military currently controls approximately half of Gaza’s territory.
As part of its ongoing operations, Israel has blocked the delivery of humanitarian aid—including food, fuel, and clean water—exacerbating what international observers now describe as the worst humanitarian crisis in the 19-month conflict.
Officials also stated that the plan includes measures to prevent Hamas from managing or benefiting from humanitarian aid, arguing that such involvement strengthens the militant group’s control over Gaza. However, detailed methods to enforce this restriction remain unclear.

A leaked internal memo viewed by AP revealed Israel’s intention to delegate aid distribution to private security companies. These firms would operate logistics hubs and use technologies like facial recognition and SMS alerts to coordinate aid collection.
The United Nations has firmly rejected the proposal, stating on Sunday that it will not participate in a system that contradicts its foundational humanitarian values. The global body’s decision casts uncertainty over the implementation of Israel’s aid control framework.
