Israeli PrimeMinister Binyamin Netanyahu  reported on Sunday that he has not only ordered\u00A0 to occupy Gaza City, but has also ordered Israel to intervene in displaced persons camps off the central coast of the country.

"I have ordered the Israeli army to dismantle Hamas's last two strongholds in Gaza and the country's central camps. This is the best way to accelerate the end of this war, "the prime minister said in a press appearance.

In addition, he has assured that Israel will carry out an "imminent" attack on Gaza City and the Mawasi area, which are "the last two Hamas strongholds." ALprime Minister has explained that, prior to the attack, "security zones" will be established for the displacement of civilian populations, although their location has not been specified.

Among themain Gaza camps are those established in Al Mauasi n , which Israel once described as "safe zones, "but which have also been targeted by Israeli army bombings . Netanyahu has not specified whether military action against these areas will include those there.

"To grant an independent state to the Palestinians would be to invite them to a safe war."

With regard to Palestine, the Israeli Prime Minister has assured us that the recognition of the Palestinian State"would be an invitation to a future and secure war" , which the Israeli population is opposed to.

On the other hand, Netanyahu himself has explained thefive-point plan  adopted on Friday\u00A0, which created many doubts in the Israeli Army 0, but which, in his view, "is the only option." The plan envisages the demilitarization of Hamas, the expulsion of Gaza institutions and the establishment of a "civilian authority" and has rejected the establishment of the Palestinian Authority, the Palestinian West Bank Government.

The Prime Minister has once again said to international humanitarian organisationsthat there is no famine in Gazaand that it is all"a campaign of distortion"by Hamas.

Tens of thousands of people have clamoured for the hostages.

Meanwhile, on Saturday afternoon tens of thousands of people have walked through the streets ofTel Avivtodemandthat Netanyahu abandon the military plan he wants to launch, believing that it could lead to thedeathof the still alive hostages at the hands of Hamas.

In this sense, some of the hostages' relatives havecalled on theIsraelis to start a general strike , after the cabinet "has determined the future of the hostages: the survivors will be killed, the dead will disappear forever."
