The 2025 Trump-backed ceasefire between Israel and Hamas allows the Jewish State to control no more than 53% of the Palestinian enclave. Now, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered his military to occupy 70% of the region.
”We now control 60% of the territory in the Strip. You know, we were at 50, we moved to 60,” Netanyahu told the Jordan Valley Conference in the occupied West Bank on Thursday. “My directive is to move to… first of all 70%. Let’s start with that.”
The leader did not specify whether Israel intends to eventually occupy all of Gaza, but his wording hinted at a future expansion beyond the current goal of 70%.
The current expansion is at odds with the agreement President Donald Trump had helped to achieve in order to stop Israel’s war in Gaza.
Hamas accused Israel of attempting to impose military control over Gaza earlier in the week. The militant group warned the move undermines the prospect of de-escalation.
“Any attempt to impose a new reality of occupation in Gaza is null and illegitimate,” Ismail al-Thawabta, head of the Hamas-run Gaza government media office said, adding that Netanyahu’s statement “represents a dangerous escalation.”
Reuters chronicled the international reaction to Israel’s expansion plans:
A spokesperson for the Board of Peace said it would not have a comment on Netanyahu’s statement.
A British foreign ministry spokesperson said any further expansion of Israeli control in Gaza would be unacceptable and risk exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation.
Fellow permanent U.N. Security Council member France did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A German foreign ministry spokesperson said Germany was concerned about Israeli plans to take more of Gaza and opposed a permanent division of the Palestinian territory.
Hamas is reportedly not surrendering.
“The group has refused to disarm or surrender its weapons, according to Bulgarian diplomat Nikolay Mladenov, who is overseeing the implementation of the ceasefire agreement,” RT reported.
President Trump’s Board of Peace met with representatives of Hamas in March, but that peace initiative has mostly stalled out during the course of the Iran war.
“The weekend meeting is the first publicly reported since the start of the Iran war between the Palestinian militant group and the board, a new international body personally headed by Trump, which has been tasked with overseeing post-war Gaza,” Reuters said March 16. “Following the meeting, Israel announced on Sunday that it would soon reopen the sole crossing for pedestrians between Gaza and Egypt, shut since the Iran bombing campaign began. One of the sources said he believed the Israeli announcement was a direct result of the meeting between Hamas and the board.”
As Israel expands their Gaza occupation in contradiction to Trump’s ceasefire agreement, they also expand their ground operations in Lebanon which contradicts Trump’s effort end the Iran war.

I believe Christ when he commanded them, “Worship me not but he who sent me.” Adoration is one thing, worship is another. Civil War between people that are simply angry and hurting “the generation that was born for nothing” and zeolots from the far right who have enjoyed the status quo for 250 years will be one ugly sorrowful mess. Not to worry the famine, plague, and violence is simmering on the back burner while our president and his associates are acting like pigs at the Wall Street Trough.
We elected a globalist. No sense pretending America ever came first in any of their minds.
Netanyahu humiliates Trump again, Trump humiliates himself again. Trump lost MAGA. Trump went to MIGA.
On June 9th, Graham may lose.
You humiliate yourself every single time you post.
They only buy what you sale..
Just like southerners complaining about the transplants they sold to..
Look what YOU did to YOU
NOTHING is purchased, you liar.
There you go again, in your moral inversion, blaming victims.
Now go worship Israel somewhere.
Good luck proving people are getting imminent domain so northerners can take their houses, and also I won’t hold my breath on you proving people were forced to shop at big franchises wiping out small business..
Additionally: Says the guy getting offended by people saying Israel is basically running America.. FYI this is wordpress based there are like five ways to search comment sections of each article filtering by user across the entire site going back to oldest articles..
Bravo! Why should Israel allow on their land those who believe they must wipe each and every Jew off the face of the earth?
Perhaps read the Talmud or Torah if you want to know what jews thinks of everybody else.
Sub-Human is the answer
Lies. The Torah is a Godly book. The Talmud, not so much but it is musings from Rabbis going back hundreds of years.
You need a kosher vaccine, along with a 1040 booklet, jammed right up your ass.
You love to refer to rear ends. You never address actual subjects. You are self embarrassing.
It is NOT Israel’s land. Go read more comic books.
Good. Wipe those vermin off the planet.
100% it is. You enjoy that Catholic and Muzzie propaganda that hits the back of your throat when you are on your knees sucking down what they squirt in you. Learn your history, Nazi.
Sounds like you need to travel to your nearest Catholic convent and push an elderly nun to the ground from the back to make you feel like a Jew tough guy today.
Exactly. The pansies that infect this thread wouldn’t last 5 minutes in that part of the world. Most of them are probably closet homos that would get thrown off of buildings.
Why are Jews always infatuated with sick sex references and like to pose in female underwear? I wouldn’t last five minutes in the Middle East either because I would have to subject myself to the boys of Tel Aviv playing paddle ball with one another in their 1970 Era swimwear.
What? Pose in female underwear? What random thoughts are you espousing? Projecting? And no, pansies like you would change your mind very quickly if you lived in a country surrounded by goat f*ckers hell bent on killing you. As far as the swimwear they have on, I’ll leave those images in your mind. Seems like you are a subject matter expert.
How come DJT does not listen to his own son?

The thread that unravels the entire system
Because the Israeli lobby and the Epstein files have him by the balls.
Having him by the balls equals having the country, including its military as witness to this BS war….for Israel

The whole world knows he’s a cuck for Israel
I’m sure at least 70% of the US pop realizes Israel is running America at this point.. What are they going to do besides sit in the AC power fisting burgers and complaining on the net?
How about people in power do something, instead of you blaming the common man?
Give us a laugh, instead of whining, tell us what should be done.
