The Israeli government is reportedly planning to ratchet up its blockade on Gaza as part of what it has called a “hell plan” to pressure Hamas into further hostage releases without a troop withdrawal from the Palestinian territory.
With the six-week-old ceasefire in limbo, and no sign of movement towards a second phase that was due to start last weekend, both sides were taking contingency steps to return to a war footing.
The government of Benjamin Netanyahu was reported to have made preparations to go beyond the suspension of food and fuel announced on Sunday, to implement a programme of steadily increased isolation of the coastal strip and its population of about 2.2 million, according to the national public radio station, Kan, which said the government was referring to the programme of measures as the “hell plan”.
Israel announced plans to hold Palestinian civilians hostage, starve them out as a final solution.
The war was enough to drive the civilians away. The ceasefire just re-filled the warzone for round 2 of the air campaign.
I guess the 2 million people still living there don’t count.
It’s be less than 1.5 now. Hundreds of thousands are dead and thousands have left
Are you saying that the ceasefire didn’t bring more people into harms way?
It seems like you’re needlessly deconstructing what I said to try to find offense and outrage
