President Trump is keeping his foreign policy focus on Russia and Ukraine as global outrage grows over Israel’s plans to launch a major new offensive in the Gaza Strip and a declaration of famine on Friday that underscored the catastrophic suffering of Palestinians.

Israel is now expected to begin its military takeover of Gaza City in mid-September – two weeks after newly called-up reservists report for duty, Israeli television is reporting.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that Israel’s leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, is “in denial” about the suffering inflicted on Gaza, and the international community is now saying: “Enough is enough.

Israel’s security cabinet has approved a plan from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to occupy Gaza City, the Prime Minister’s Office said Friday.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Gaza city could "turn into Rafah and Beit Hanoun" unless Hamas agrees to Israel's terms.

With famine officially declared in northern Gaza, and Israel aiming for full military occupation, civilians are being displaced once again, heading south in an effort to avoid the attacks.
