Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to announce details of a plan to take Gaza City as he faces domestic and international pressure

Netanyahu prepares to talk about his plan to take Gaza in the face of mounting Israeli and international pressure over the 49 hostages held by Hamas and the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military has reported 27 deaths in Gaza, including 11 people killed during food distribution. The plan approved on Friday envisages taking control of Gaza City, accompanied by the distribution of humanitarian aid. The families of the hostages fear the offensive could lead to their deaths, and protests in Tel Aviv are demanding a deal to return the hostages. The war in Gaza has claimed thousands of lives on both sides.
