IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir is planning to warn the government that there will be no option but to impose military rule over the Gaza Strip if plans go ahead to conquer Gaza City, Channel 12 reports.

“There will be no choice but to impose military rule on all of Gaza from November,” the report quotes Zamir as saying he will tell the government.

Zamir is opposed to the government’s plan to conquer Gaza City and has urged the government to accept the deal to reach a ceasefire that will see the hostages released.

The report says Zamir will carry out the orders to capture Gaza City, but is warning the government to prepare for the military and diplomatic consequences.
