Israel to extend its control of Gaza Strip up to 70% of its territory — Netanyahu

Israel intends to expand its control over the Gaza Strip, potentially encompassing up to 70% of the territory. This development follows indirect negotiations mediated by Egypt, Qatar, the United States, and Turkey, which resumed on October 6, 2025, aiming to de-escalate the ongoing conflict. The specifics of Israel's extended control and its implications for the region remain a focal point of international attention.

This potential expansion of Israeli control significantly alters the geopolitical landscape of the region and raises critical questions about the future governance and sovereignty of Palestinian territories.
