Israel increases attacks in Gaza and Trump speaks of freedom zone

The Israeli forces intensified their operations in the Gaza Strip on Thursday and were more than 100 people killed. At the same time, US President Donald Trump announced that it would set up a "freedom zone" in the enclave.

severe losses in Gaza

Many of the victims were in Jabalya in the north of the Gaza Strip and in Khan Younis in the south, as the civil protection authority Gaza reported. Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has undertaken to remove Hamas and follow a strategy that is pursuing a strategy that is Provides that the military controls more territory in the Gaza Strip and the entire civilian population is pushing into a smaller area in the south.

strategy of the Israeli government

"There will be no coming and going," said Netanyahu at the beginning of the month. "We will mobilize reservists to keep the area - we won't just go in and then go out again, only to then do attacks."

The intensive Israeli attacks are made in the middle of the appearance of growing differences between the US and Israeli governments. President Donald Trump said last week that he wanted to end the "brutal war events" in Gaza and avoided Israel during his Mame East trip. He excluded Israel twice this month with bilateral agreements with regional militant groups.

Trump supports a "freedom zone"

Trump said on Thursday that he wanted the USA to "take over" Gaza and transform it into a "freedom zone". "I have concepts for Gaza that I think is very good. Let's make it a free zone and let the United States get involved," added Trump during his stay in Qatar.

Current developments in the Gaza Strip

The latest Israeli operations coincide with the announcement of the Palestinian Ministry of Health that the number of people who have been killed since October 2023 as a result of the Israeli offensive has now exceeded 53,000. Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for civil protection, reported more than 100 "martyrs" in various parts of the Gaza Strip on Thursday - from central Khan Younis to Nordgaza.

An example: a family with six members, including four children, was killed in Jabalya. The father worked as a nurse in the Kamal Adwan Hospital, as the facility confirmed. An Israeli bomb attack also killed 13 people in a clinic in Jabalya, where many people from Gaza had gathered. The Al Awda Hospital stated that many wounded wounded after the attack on the clinic.

reports on civil victims

in Khan Younis, according to a CNN reporter who visited the scene, 11 members of a family died on an air raid on a house. A young refugee from Nordgaza, Ahmad al-Safi, said to CNN: "I slept and thought that the house would have fallen on us. I was in a shock ... I thought I was a martyr."

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported on Thursday that 82 corpses have arrived in the Gaza Strip hospitals in the last 24 hours, as well as 152 injuries. The number of military operations that have been killed in October 2023 since the beginning of the Israeli military operations rose to 53.010. The Ministry does not differentiate between civilians and militants.

evacuation arrangements and humanitarian crisis

Die IDF gibt weiterhin Evakuierungsbefehle für verschiedene Gebiete im Gazastreifen heraus. The recent command was aimed at the residents of the Rimal district on the Mediterranean coast in Central Gaza. An IDF spokesman on Arabic explained on platform X that the arrangement was due to the "terrorist activities of Hamas in the region" and added that "the area is bombarded and that we will continue to target it today and in the coming days."

UN authorities express concern about the deteriorating situation of the civilian population. The UN office for the coordination of humanitarian matters posted on X on Thursday that the "blockade, evacuation arrangements and ongoing bombing-including tents, hospitals and schools-continue to advance mass victims, displacement and privation."

international criticism and negotiations on an armistice

The Israeli government did not let itself be put off despite a growing wave of international criticism of the blockade of the aid deliveries to Gaza, which is now in the third month. Netanyahu explained at the beginning of this week: "We are destroying more and more houses that have no place to return to.

Negotiations on a new ceasefire that would include the release of the remaining hostages seem to have stalled. The Emiratic Prime Minister told CNN on Wednesday that he would not expect to see progress in the negotiations that his country will soon convey, and criticized Israel for sending a "bad signal" by continuing to bomb the enclave while a delegation was sent to Doha.

summary of the current situation

The situation in the Gaza Strip remains tense and the number of civil victims increases. While international efforts to solve the conflict is under pressure, Israel is under pressure to allow humanitarian aid and to achieve permanent ceasefire. However, the path to peace still seems to be rocky and full of challenges.
