Israel's Security Cabinet approved the full takeover of Gaza City and proposed five principles for a ceasefire, including not accepting Hamas or the Palestinian Authority's future takeover of Gaza. This move has drawn international attention, with EU officials criticizing Israel's actions as resembling 'genocide.' U.S. President Trump did not oppose this decision and even actively supported it. U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman stated that the U.S. would increase food distribution points to support Israel's actions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that Israel has no intention of long-term occupation or governance of Gaza, but his actions are seen as advocating the positions of his far-right political allies. Trump has been accused of being an 'accomplice' to Netanyahu's alleged war crimes in Gaza.
