Israel’s defence minister said on Friday he has instructed the military to “seize more ground” in Gaza and threatened to annex part of the territory unless Hamas releases the remaining hostages it holds.

Israel Katz’s warning came as the army stepped up the renewed assault it launched on Tuesday, shattering the truce that had facilitated the release of more than two dozen hostages and brought relative calm since late January.

After retaking part of the strategic Netzarim corridor that divides Gaza’s north from south, Israeli troops moved on Thursday towards the northern town of Beit Lahiya and the southern border city of Rafah. The military said it had resumed enforcing a blockade on northern Gaza, including Gaza City.

“I ordered [the army] to seize more territory in Gaza,” Katz said. “The more Hamas refuses to free the hostages, the more territory it will lose, which will be annexed by Israel.”

There it is. I guess trumps Gaza resort will come to fruition. I thought of all people “Never again” would be heeded by the Israel.

Yeah „Never Again“ as in no more terrorism from Hamas/Gaza. Instead, they are doing it now.

Edit: I didn’t mean Gaza is terrorising. Israel is terrorising innocent civilians. My wording sucks.

Sorry you may want to reword that. It’s a bit ambiguous

DicksAndPizza@lemm.ee on 21 Mar 18:50 collapse

Oh? Yes maybe I should. But honestly why? Isn’t Israel the one currently terrorising innocent civilians?

T00l_shed@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 19:04 collapse

Yes they absolutely are, they are committing genocide. The wording appears to lay blame on this entire thing on the events of Oct 7th. That’s the ambiguous part.

Oh I’m sorry. There is no offence meant by me! How would you reword it? I will change it accordingly.

I edited as a place holder. Hope it’s good enough as explaination.

No offense taken, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I think you edit should cover it:)

DicksAndPizza@lemm.ee on 21 Mar 20:06 collapse

Oh yeah thanks. It’s definitely the benefit. Instead of jumping to conclusions you had a suggestion and that’s great. Thanks bro/sis.

Have a good day!
