Israel is set to apply escalating pressure on Hamas in an effort to secure their acceptance of a new proposal that would extend the initial phase of the ceasefire agreement and ensure the release of all hostages currently held by the terror group. In addition to this, Israel plans to halt the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip, a move scheduled for Sunday, according to a report by Kan public broadcaster.
The report outlines the next steps in Israel’s strategy, which has been developed over recent weeks, involving the relocation of Gazans from northern Gaza to the southern part of the territory, a tactic that was used throughout much of the conflict. If necessary, the strategy may escalate further to include a complete shutdown of electricity to the Gaza Strip.
The final stage of Israel’s plan, if the situation does not improve, is expected to involve a resumption of full-scale warfare, with the country employing the heavy bombs that were previously withheld by the past U.S. administration, as well as utilizing the billions of dollars’ worth of military aid and weapons currently being sent to Israel by the new U.S. administration.
