The Israeli government, amidst a prolonged conflict in Gaza, has decided to intensify military operations, aiming to capture and retain more territory. Prime Minister Netanyahu asserts an impending victory, despite widespread skepticism about the humanitarian and military implications. The plan includes increasing military presence and destroying Hamas's tunnel infrastructure, yet raises significant concerns for the already suffering population and the remaining hostages. Reports suggest any escalation will be postponed until after President Trump's regional visit, hinting at a potential but unlikely diplomatic maneuver to resolve the hostage situation.
"We will achieve full, absolute victory in Gaza," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in Hebrew in a social-media clip just before the decision Sunday night by the security cabinet."
"For this Israeli, as for many others, the escalation is a promise to plunge deeper into darkness, militarily and morally."
