Israel Moves Toward Full Occupation of Gaza Amid Ceasefire Talks Breakdown
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially decided on a plan for the full occupation of Gaza, a move supported by senior government officials and likely to be approved by the Israeli cabinet, according to various reports. As ceasefire negotiations reach an impasse, Netanyahu is calling for a military solution to release hostages held by Hamas. The Israeli military is expected to be directed to achieve specific war objectives, with indications from Netanyahu that the IDF may expand its offensive operations. In light of the ongoing humanitarian crisis, discussions about annexing parts of Gaza are also emerging, particularly if no resolution regarding hostages is reached. The situation remains tense as international outcry grows over military actions in the region.
