"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the population of Gaza will be displaced to the south after his security cabinet approved an expanded military operation in the enclave that a minister described as a plan to “conquer” the territory.
The vote on Sunday came hours after the military said it would mobilize tens of thousands of reservists, strengthening its capacity to operate in the besieged Palestinian territory.
“One thing will be clear: there will be no in-and-out,” Netanyahu said in a Monday video message posted on X. “We’ll call up reserves to come, hold territory — we’re not going to enter and then exit the area, only to carry out raids afterward. That’s not the plan. The intention is the opposite.”
We now have the aid crisis at the focus of world wide attention.
If a flag, any flag, was burned its just a piece of coloured cloth, it doesn’t feel pain, and is nothing compared to thousands of people being burned. Be they Palestinian, Jew or anyone else.
Thanks Maremia. It really was a special day and despite the discomfort of the incredible heat, am glad I went and hope our govt take note that people do care about this.

You don’t understand, 10,000 flags couldn’t save one life fact,
I would never burn a flag- but it is just a piece of material- the Star of David is not any more important than others. Would it really bother you if the Palestinian flag was burnt.
Some still deny that over 50.000 people have died in Palestine, many burn alive, including babies and children.
IDF have found bodies of three hostages and taken them home to Israel, one was a woman aged 71 when she was murdered October 2023, her body was taken to Gaza,

A flag is not just a piece of material 😡 It’s a symbol of identity, a reflection of country, cultural heritage representing who we are as people and where we come from.
