Netanyahu calls Trump and discusses a "rapid operation" in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed with U.S. President Donald Trump the plan for the complete occupation of the Gaza Strip, where he talked about a rapid military operation aimed at taking control of what remains of Hamas strongholds to end the war.

In a statement issued by Netanyahu's office, it was noted that the phone call between them is the first since the Israeli government approved the plan to occupy the sector, where Netanyahu thanked Trump for his steadfast support for Israel.

Netanyahu confirmed that the military operation would be swift, but he did not specify any timeline for it, claiming that Israel's goal is not to occupy Gaza but to 'liberate it' from Hamas, which reflects an attempt to avoid the legal ramifications associated with the word 'occupation.'

In a related context, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the Israeli army will deploy 'all its regular forces to Gaza' as part of the planned operation, as the army seeks to build a plan to occupy the city of Gaza and needs a week to outline the details.

The Israeli security cabinet also approved a plan that begins with the occupation of the city of Gaza by displacing its population of about one million to the south, then surrounding the city and conducting incursions into residential areas.

Since March 2, the occupation has closed all crossings leading to Gaza, resulting in a state of famine despite the accumulation of relief trucks at the border, where only limited quantities are allowed in that do not meet the minimum needs of the citizens.

With U.S. support, the occupation is committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, including killing, starvation, and destruction, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop these actions.

The Israeli genocide has resulted in 61,258 martyrs and 152,045 injured, with more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, reflecting the scale of the humanitarian disaster faced by the besieged sector.
