TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel approved plans on Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, in a move that if implemented would vastly expand Israel’s operations in the Palestinian territory and likely bring fierce international opposition.

Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.

    Dems don’t support genocide.

    Then whose administration kept selling weapons for genocide from 2023 through 2024?

        Sure. All opposition to your genocide must be support for trump.

        You will never admit that netanyahu was wrong prior to 2025.

          Netanyahu was always a scumbag and Israel and Palestine would be far better off with almost anyone else in charge.

          Yet you refuse to condemn Trump and continue to attack the Democrats.

            Trump is a piece of shit and always will be. You just can’t comprehend that there are people who don’t like genocide.

              Attacking the Democrats is explicit support for the genocide carried out by Israel and the planned genocide the Republicans want to carry out.

              Edit: And support for the genocide being carried out against Ukraine by the Russian Federation.

                You just want silence no matter what democrats do.

                Opposition to democratic support for genocide is that alone, and anyone who tries to make it more than that does so only out of support for genocide.
