Palestinians are bracing for a worsening humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his army to seize 70% of the besieged territory. Already Israel controls about 11% more of Gaza’s land than it agreed to under a U.S.-brokered, so-called ceasefire deal it signed last October. Netanyahu’s latest plan would push Israel’s line of control further beyond the so-called yellow line, leaving even less land for Gaza’s more than 2 million Palestinians. His comments came one day after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said his government would implement a plan to remove large numbers of Palestinians from Gaza under what he called a “voluntary emigration” scheme.
