Israel has turned 70% of Gaza into no-go zones, in maps

Gaza will be entirely destroyed, civilians will be sent to... the south to a humanitarian zone without Hamas or terrorism, and from there they will start to leave in great numbers to third countries,

Smotrich said, according to the Agence France-Presse

We want our troops to fight against a tired, hungry, and exhausted enemy, not one that has supplies and aid coming from outside the strip,

Smotrich said in a statement on Monday

Within a year we will be able to declare victory in Gaza,

he told attendees

Israel does not intend to withdraw from territories the IDF captures, not even as part of a deal to release hostages,

he added

Are they going to displace us again? Are we going to end up in Rafah, and will this be the last time, or are they going to force us out of Gaza after Rafah

she said, referring to the Rafah area in southern Gaza, next to Egypt's border

Are we going to die this time?"

she said in a message on a chat app

They are starving us so we can agree to anything. We want an end to the war. Let them take their prisoners (Israeli hostages) and end the war. Enough,

she added

There is nothing left in the Gaza Strip that has not been struck by missiles and explosive barrels, and there are still threats to expand the operation,

he said

Will they arrest people and kill others before they let the rest into the areas they designate?"

he said

The Israeli forces will not intervene only to withdraw afterward,

he declared

Gaza belongs to the Palestinians, and in this sense, we would reject a permanent occupation,

Foreign Ministry spokesman Sebastian Fischer said

The European Union is concerned at the planned extension of the operation by Israeli forces in Gaza, which will result in further casualties and suffering for the Palestinian population,

EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni said

There is no sense in engaging in talks or considering new ceasefire proposals as long as the hunger war and extermination war continue in the Gaza Strip,

Basem Naim told AFP

Gaza is, and must remain, an integral part of a future Palestinian state,

Farhan Haq said

I truly believe that all participants must go the extra mile, make an extra effort, take the extra step, so that we can see our hostages home immediately,

he added

We saw the whole place covered in dust and destruction, and there was no vision. We were unable to rescue the wounded,

he said

[On ... On] the nutritional front, the population is facing once again an extreme risk of famine,

the PRCS said in its latest situation update

There is an inability to meet even the minimum daily needs of over a million displaced people,

it said
