'Israel Wants 100% Gaza': Netanyahu’s Gaza TAKEOVER Plan EXPOSED, PM Claims IDF Controls 60% Of Gaza

Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:20]He did not whisper it. He did not hint at it. He said it out loud on camera [music] at a conference in a settlement.

[00:00:29]Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just handed the world a map of exactly what Israel intends to do with Gaza. And the numbers he used tell you everything.

[00:00:39]50% then 60. Now the order is 70. And nobody in that room asked him where [music] it ends. Here is what happened.

[00:00:48]Speaking at a conference held in an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank, Netanyahu laid out Israel's territorial [music] progress inside Gaza in cold clinical terms. His words, captured [music] on video and aired by Israel's Channel 12, were precise. He said, "We are currently squeezing Hamas.

[00:01:08][music] We now control 60% of the territory in the strip. You know, we [music] were at 50. We moved to 60. My directive is to move to 70%."

[00:01:18]Squeezing. That is the word he chose.

[00:01:21]Not liberating, not securing, squeezing.

[00:01:25]And that one word, combined with those numbers, paints a picture that the Arab world, Hamas, and international [music] observers are now scrambling to process.

[00:01:35]Because here is what those numbers [music] actually mean on the ground.

[00:01:39]60% of Gaza is not a buffer zone. It is not a temporary military corridor. It is more than half of an entire territory with over 2 million people now under direct Israeli military control, despite a ceasefire [music] that technically came into effect in October. Let that contradiction sit for a moment. There is a ceasefire and Israel controls 60% of the land and the prime [music] minister just ordered that number to go higher.

[00:02:09]So, what is the end game?

[00:02:10]Netanyahu did not say 100% out loud on Thursday, but the progression he described 50 to 60 to 70 is not a strategy with a stopping point built in.

[00:02:22]It is a creeping annexation [music] framed as a military operation and the location where he said it matters enormously.

[00:02:30]He was not at the Knesset. He was not in Tel Aviv. He was speaking at a conference in a West Bank settlement.

[00:02:37]The same kind of settlement that the international community has spent decades calling illegal. The symbolism was not accidental. This is a man telling his base, his ideological base, exactly what he is doing and daring [music] the world to stop him.

[00:02:54]The reaction from the Arab world has been immediate and furious. Hamas called [music] it proof of what they have always said, that Israel's goal was never about hostages or security, it was always about the land.

[00:03:07]Humanitarian agencies are sounding fresh alarms tonight. Aid organizations have been warning for months that civilian conditions in Gaza are catastrophic.

[00:03:17]>> [music] >> Now, with Israel signaling a deeper and longer military hold over the territory, those warnings are getting louder and more desperate. And internationally, the questions are piling up. What happens to the ceasefire? What happens to the people in the 60% already under IDF control? And when Israel reaches 70%, what comes next? The answer, if you follow the math Netanyahu himself laid out, is obvious. The next number is not hard to guess. And tonight, for the first time, an Israeli prime minister said it quietly but clearly enough for the whole world to hear.

[00:03:56]Gaza is not a battlefield anymore. It is being turned into a possession.
