GAZA: The Israeli military pressed operations around Gaza City on Wednesday, as President Donald Trump prepared to host a White House meeting on post-war plans for the shattered Palestinian territory.
Israel is under mounting pressure both at home and abroad to end its almost two-year campaign in Gaza, where the military is preparing to conquer the territory’s largest city and the United Nations has declared a famine.
A spokesman for the Israeli military said Wednesday the evacuation of Gaza City was “inevitable” as the army prepares to conquer the Palestinian territory’s largest city.
“The evacuation of Gaza City is inevitable, and therefore, every family that relocates to the south will receive the most generous humanitarian aid, which is currently being worked on,” the military’s Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on X.
Mediators have circulated a draft ceasefire and hostage release deal which has been accepted by Palestinian militant group Hamas. But Israel has yet to give an official response.
