‘Israel’ army says “evacuation of Gaza City is inevitable”

A spokesman for the ‘Israeli’ military said Wednesday the evacuation of Gaza City was "inevitable" as the army prepares to conquer the Palestinian territory's largest city.

"The evacuation of Gaza City is inevitable, and therefore, every family that relocates to the south will receive the most generous humanitarian aid, which is currently being worked on," the military's Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on X.

The ‘Israeli’ military pressed operations around Gaza City on Wednesday, as President Donald Trump prepared to host a White House meeting on post-war plans for the shattered Palestinian territory.

‘Israel’ is under mounting pressure both at home and abroad to end its almost two-year attack in Gaza, where the military is preparing to conquer the territory's largest city and the United Nations has declared a famine.

Ceasefire prospects

Mediators have circulated a draft ceasefire and captive release deal which has been accepted by Hamas, but ‘Israel’ has yet to give an official response.

On the ground, the ‘Israeli’ military claimed its troops were "operating on the outskirts of Gaza City to locate and dismantle terror infrastructure sites above and below ground".

The vast majority of Gaza's population has been displaced at least once during the war, and aid groups working in the territory consider the plan unrealistic and dangerous.

The UN estimates that nearly a million people currently live in Gaza governorate, which includes Gaza City and its surroundings in the north of the territory.
