Israel Expands Military Operations in Gaza
Israel’s security cabinet has officially approved a significant plan to expand military operations in Gaza, aiming for what officials described as the potential ‘conquest’ of the territory. This announcement came on Monday, shortly after military leadership revealed plans to mobilize tens of thousands of reservists in order to intensify their offensive against the Islamist group Hamas. The urgency of this move reflects growing tensions and a strategic push towards a more comprehensive military engagement in the region.
According to a spokesperson for the government, the plan encompasses several critical components, including the intention to gain control over the Gaza Strip and to relocate parts of the local population southward for their safety. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly advocating a proposal, initially suggested by US President Donald Trump, which would facilitate the voluntary relocation of Gazans to neighboring nations such as Jordan and Egypt.
