Finance Minister Smotrich Advocates Gradual Annexation of Gaza Strip by Israel if Hamas Does Not Yield Control

Intensified military bombardment has been reported in the suburbs of Gaza City, as Israel has recently increased attacks in the region. According to the latest reports, at least 16 Palestinians have lost their lives, and dozens have been wounded.

The ongoing military actions and preparations for control are part of a plan proposed by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. The plan, designed to take over the Gaza Strip, aims to bring most of the area under full Israeli control within three to four months.

The plan involves an ultimatum for Hamas to surrender, disarm, and release hostages. If Hamas does not comply, Israel will capture a portion of Palestinian territory each week for four weeks. The ultimate goal is the annexation of the Gaza Strip.

Palestinians will be asked to move South, followed by Israel imposing a siege on the territory's north and center. The Israeli Minister predicts the plan to take over Gaza can be achieved within the given timeline.

The plan has been met with strong opposition from Palestinians and the international community. The international community has expressed disapproval of the plan, with many viewing it as a violation of human rights and international law.

Hamas has condemned the plan proposed by the Israeli Minister, stating it as an "open endorsement of the policy of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing against our people". The Palestinian resistance movement has reiterated its commitment to resisting any attempts to take over the Gaza Strip.

Despite the international condemnation, Israeli forces are preparing to take control of Gaza city. The Israeli Minister has stated his intention to "win in Gaza by the end of the year". This statement was made at a press conference where he presented the plan.

It is worth noting that the Israeli Minister has previously opposed the idea of a deal with Hamas to end the two-year conflict. The Minister's plan is a clear indication of his hardline stance towards Hamas and his commitment to eliminating the group as a threat to Israel.

The article serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip and the challenges faced by the Palestinian people. As the situation continues to escalate, it is crucial for the international community to take a firm stance against any actions that violate international law and human rights.
