Netanyahu Considers 'General's Plan' to Cut Off Aid to Northern Gaza, Target Hamas Militants

Oct 13, 2024, 03:11 PM

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering a plan to cut off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza. The plan, known as the 'General's Plan,' proposed by a retired general and reported by Haaretz, aims to starve out Hamas militants by blocking essential supplies to the population. This strategy could trap hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, including over 100,000 in Jabalia and its surrounding neighborhoods, without access to food, water, or medicine. The plan, if implemented, would classify remaining Palestinians as combatants, thereby allowing Israeli troops to take further military actions. It also aims to reverse the IDF's inability to achieve strategic goals.
