Trump did not oppose a possible total occupation of Gaza
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump stated that a total occupation of the Gaza Strip will “depend largely on Israel” without making clear its position.
This alleged plan, however, does not have the support of Israel’s Defense Forces (FDI), which are reluctant to act in places where the hostages are detained by Temer that terrorists in Gaza execute them in the face of the advance of troops (as happened at the end of August 2024 with six kidnappers, found on September 1). In addition, there is a threat to the military themselves as they operate in these regions.
