🔴 The United Nations, Palestinian officials and Germany have criticized Israeli plans to expand military control over Gaza after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israeli occupation forces should move from controlling roughly 60 percent of the territory to 70 percent.

The remarks, made during a seminar in the occupied Jordan Valley on Thursday, represented one of the clearest public indications yet that Israel intends to deepen its territorial hold over large parts of the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire agreement that came into effect in October 2025.

Netanyahu stated that Israeli occupation forces currently control approximately 60 percent of Gaza and indicated that he had instructed the military to expand that figure further.

The announcement immediately drew international criticism, with the United Nations reiterating its opposition to any long-term Israeli control over Palestinian territory.

➡️ Speaking at UN headquarters in New York on Friday, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric rejected the Israeli plan in unequivocal terms.

“One hundred percent of Gaza should be for the Palestinian people,” Dujarric said.

He added that the United Nations continues to call for Israel to withdraw from areas it occupies inside Gaza, including territory around the so-called ‘Yellow Line,’ which was established under the ceasefire framework.

The Yellow Line emerged following the first phase of the ceasefire arrangement backed by US President Donald Trump. Under that framework, Israeli forces withdrew to designated positions while retaining control over a significant portion of eastern Gaza.

The agreement envisioned additional Israeli withdrawals during later phases of the ceasefire process.

However, Palestinian officials and local sources have repeatedly accused Israel of gradually pushing the line westward and expanding its effective control beyond the boundaries originally outlined in the agreement.

The Israeli military announced in October last year that it controlled approximately 53 percent of Gaza after redeploying to positions along the yellow line.
