Evidence
“The Israeli government early on Friday approved a plan to expand the war by taking control of Gaza City, a pivotal and risky decision that went against the recommendations of the Israeli military. After 10 hours of deliberations, a majority of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet backed his proposal, according to a predawn statement from his office.”

“The strike on Mr. al-Sharif and the others in Gaza City came after Israel’s security cabinet on Friday voted to intensify its military operations in the area and to take over the city, where much of Gaza’s population has been sheltering after repeated displacement orders since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel that killed about 1,200 people in Israel, led to the abduction of about 250 and set off the war in Gaza.”
