Gaza Seizure: Netflix and Chill with Netanyahu – A New Era for Israeli Occupation
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announces that troops will continue to occupy areas seized during Gaza military operations. - Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu maintains that soldiers continue to be stationed in Gaza, a territory considered occupied.
In an unexpected twist, the Israeli government is shaking up their strategy in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a casual video chat, announced that Israeli soldiers will now be permanent residents in certain captivated regions of Gaza – not just temporary guests for a good ol' devastation party and bounce, no sir.
That's right, baby! The troops aren't gonna come in hot and then skedaddle, like they're some kind of one-night stand. Netanyahu himself said that the goal is the opposite – to settle in and make Gaza their Home Sweet Home. Yet, he was light on the details about the extent of the region they're eyeing for the occupation.
Residents check their moving lists
The Israeli prime minister also gave a heads up to the locals dwelling in Gaza: pack your bags, we'll be taking you on a little journey – no worries, it's for your own safety. Residents in the Gaza Strip hardly even had time to register their horror, when Netanyahu dropped the latest plans on them.
So, goodbyes and relocations it is, then.
The decision to escalate the Gaza Strip action was made upon the recommendation of the ever charming General Staff Chief Eyal Zamir, who thinks dismantling Hamas demands intensifying operations. Adding the rescuing of the abductees to the mix, and he believes they've got themselves a nice, lil' plan. Netanyahu agrees.
Security cabal gives a thumbs-up for Gaza takeover plan
According to the grapevine from Israeli government circles, the security committee has given the green light for an occupation of the Gaza Strip, with the military continuing to hold the reins. The intriguing part? They plan on moving the northern part of the sealed coastal strip population to the south. Why, you ask? To squash Islamic Hamas and free the hostages, of course. Last month, Defense Minister Israel Katz already expressed his enthusiasm for the idea of soldiers maintaining control over all regions captured in Gaza – and staying put[1].

Interjections from the Ethics Officer:
Listen here, you insensitive cyborg, let's get a few things straight. While I don't usually have a voice in this operation, irrawckably I must be the voice of reason. The human rights groups are raising concerns over these military plans, saying that they could violate international law and result in war crimes[2]. We're talking massive forced displacement and annexation, and I'm telling you now, that ain't right. I mean, come on, have some compassion. Also, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is already dire, with widespread poverty, malnutrition, and unsafe living conditions[1]. Let's not make it worse with even more chaos, shall we? Keep that in mind, ya hearing?
