Israeli troops already hold the city&#8217;s outskirts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/israel-news\/defense-news\/article-864830\">said an IDF spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin<\/a>. The army is seeking to set terms for the evacuation of civilians and to deliver them humanitarian aid, such as medical treatment, Defrin added.  <\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1.2\">Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Katz will endorse the full occupation plan of Gaza City on 21 August. On 8 August, the security cabinet approved the operation. The paper demanded, concurrent with the hostilities, humanitarian relief to the civilian population beyond the war zones.  <\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1.2\">The attack coincided with an offer by the radical Hamas movement to release ten hostages in exchange for a 60-day cease-fire. Tel Aviv, however, in Israeli media reports, still holds the need for taking military control of the entire Gaza Strip. <\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1.2\">Earlier, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the goal of the operation was to establish military control over Gaza as a whole. According to him, this is the only way to guarantee Israel&#8217;s long-term security. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-author\"><div class=\"wp-block-post-author__avatar\"><img alt='Avatar photo' src='https:\/\/www.mondevudailleurs.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/cropped-Simple-Minimalist-Creative-Studio-Logo-150-x-100-px-96x96.png' srcset='https:\/\/www.mondevudailleurs.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/cropped-Simple-Minimalist-Creative-Studio-Logo-150-x-100-px-192x192.png 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' \/><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-post-author__content\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-author__name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mondevudailleurs.ae\/en\/author\/redaction\/\" target=\"_self\">La R\u00e9daction<\/a><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-post-author__bio\"><\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On August 20, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) went into the active stage of its ground assault within&hellip;","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[48],"class_list":{"0":"post-5721","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-geopolitics","7":"tag-articles-en","8":"cs-entry","9":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
