Netanyahu Orders Israeli Army to Seize 70% of Gaza, Violating October Ceasefire

Netanyahu said he has ordered Israeli forces to expand their hold on Gaza to 70% from 60%, a move that would go beyond the 53% Israel controlled under the October US-brokered ceasefire.
The push would compress Gaza’s 2.2 million Palestinians into less than a third of the enclave, after Israeli forces and allied militias steadily advanced westward and killed more than 900 Palestinians during the truce.
UN briefings described daily tank advances near Jabalia and Khan Younis, while Israeli-backed militias have warned residents to leave homes along the ceasefire line and have been accused of killings, arrests and kidnappings.
The expansion would directly breach the October deal, the UN Security Council resolution endorsing it and Trump’s 20-point Gaza framework, which said no one would be forced to leave the territory.
Israeli officials say the campaign is meant to squeeze Hamas, but critics say it nullifies the ceasefire and advances a broader plan of forced displacement as elections near for Netanyahu.
