Israel’s Cabinet has decided to seize Gaza for an unspecified amount of time. It's a move that could see Israel reestablish control over a territory it vacated two decades ago.

The United Nations and its partners have condemned the proposals by Israel, which has been barring deliveries of food and medicine for months.

Israel plans to set up distribution centers in southern Gaza and move a large number of Palestinians there, as it tries to balance international outrage over a blockade of aid to the enclave with continued pressure on Hamas.
