Israel's PM knows he's losing propaganda war
Israel's prime minister added more detail to his deeply controversial plans for military escalation in Gaza at a news conference with foreign media yesterday - despite the condemnation of the UN Security Council, which met in an emergency session and urged him to rethink.
Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of a "fairly short timetable" to establish designated "safe zones" for the one million or so set to be displaced from Gaza City. He also vowed to seize and dismantle Hamas's final strongholds there - in the central refugee camps, and in al Mawasi, along Gaza's southwestern coast.
This, per Netanyahu, is the only way to destroy the terror group, which he claimed "subjugates Gazans, steals their food and shoots them when they try to move to safety". Al Mawasi is already home to a significant displaced population, most of whom live in tents cramped up against the Mediterranean Sea, in what is already a designated humanitarian zone.
If members of Hamas live among them, rooting them out will be hugely complicated and will involve significant civilian casualties. If the residents of Gaza City can't evacuate south to al Mawasi, where will they go? Netanyahu's plan is to set up more aid distribution sites through the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and to flood Gaza with food.
He claimed his policy was not one of forced starvation - describing particular photos of starving babies as "fake news.
