🇮🇱 What is Israel’s ‘Generals’ Plan’ and what does it mean for the war on Gaza?

Also known as the Eiland Plan, the strategy was published in a military forum critical of the army’s efforts against Palestine. Why is it being discussed now?

Many in the Israeli military and elsewhere are now looking to the “Generals’ Plan“, also known as the Eiland Plan, to secure the defeat of Hamas.

At its simplest, this suggestion by a group of senior reservists, involves ethnically cleansing the northern Gaza Strip of people; and then besieging the region, including stopping the entry of humanitarian supplies, to starve out anyone left, including Palestinian fighters.

The Occupation Executes Children and Women in Cold Blood

Hamas Engages in Intensive Contacts to Thwart the Generals’ Plan and Stop the Massacres in Gaza

The leadership of the Hamas movement has initiated a series of intense political and diplomatic movements and contacts aimed at thwarting the occupation’s plans and halting the compound crime being carried out in the framework of the genocide war and open massacres across the Gaza Strip, particularly in the northern part of the Strip.

During its ongoing political contacts, the leadership of the movement warned against the implementation of the generals plan and the consequences of displacement and destruction. The movement highlighted the scale of daily massacres, which have reached horrific levels of terror and killing, including the execution of children and women in cold blood and the systematic displacement of around 150,000 people, along with the starvation and deprivation of our people of all essentials, including food, medicine, water sources, and the complete destruction of infrastructure, especially hospitals.

At this time, delegations from the movement’s leadership are visiting Turkey, Qatar, and Russia. The contacts have also included Egypt, the United Nations, and Iran.

Further communications are planned with additional countries at the leadership and official levels in the region. Hamas has called on the media to expose the crimes of the occupation in this area, which are being committed daily and intensively.
