Israel Prepares for Major Gaza Offensive Amid Ceasefire Talks
Israel is reportedly planning a large-scale ground offensive in Gaza, with up to 50,000 troops poised to clear and occupy strategic areas. This move is seen as an effort to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages without engaging in peace negotiations, even as Egypt and Qatar continue their mediation efforts.
The Israeli military, now under new leadership, has been actively preparing for this operation as part of a broader strategy. However, experts warn that such an escalation could prolong the conflict and worsen the humanitarian crisis. Former officials caution that this approach may not align with public sentiment, which increasingly favors a negotiated resolution over further military action.
