Netanyahu directs military to take control of 70 percent of Gaza

28 Mayıs 2026Al Jazeera

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a directive for the Israeli military to seize control of 70 percent of the Gaza Strip. This move is part of ongoing tensions in the region, reflecting a significant escalation in military operations.
The decision comes amidst a backdrop of conflict and humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has a long history of violence and territorial disputes, with Gaza being a focal point of contention. Recent escalations have led to increased military actions and significant humanitarian challenges in the region.
Netanyahu's order to seize a substantial portion of Gaza raises critical questions about the implications for both Israeli security and Palestinian civilians. This aggressive military posture may be intended to demonstrate strength but could exacerbate the humanitarian crisis and fuel further conflict.
