The reopening of the Netzarim corridor and the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza have ignited heated criticism within Israel, with officials labeling the move as a ‘total surrender’.
The return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza has sparked criticism in Israel, following the reopening of the Netzarim corridor and the withdrawal of Israeli forces under a ceasefire agreement.
Former Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir described the return of residents to northern Gaza as a sign of Hamas’s victory and another humiliating outcome of an “illegitimate deal.”
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 7, Ben Gvir stated, “This is not what absolute victory looks like—it is total surrender. Our soldiers did not fight and sacrifice their lives in Gaza to allow these images. We must return to war.”
Israeli Army Radio echoed similar sentiments, stating that Hamas achieved its objectives this morning with the return of residents to northern Gaza.
