Israel’s security cabinet has approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposal for the occupation of Gaza City, CNN quoted the Prime Minister’s Office as saying on Friday.

“The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) will prepare for the takeover of Gaza City while ensuring the provision of humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside the combat zones," the office said, according to the report.

“An overwhelming majority of cabinet ministers believed that the alternative plan presented would neither achieve Hamas’s defeat nor bring back the hostages," it quoted the office as saying.

More details of the plan were yet to be revealed.
