The Israeli army will further intensify the military operation in Gaza. Israel’s War Cabinet approved this decision on Monday. This includes a plan to completely ‘occupy’ Gaza and control the entire area. According to reports, an official said that it is expected that it will be implemented only after US President Donald Trump’s visit next week. Israel will continue to try to reach a ceasefire and hostage agreement with Hamas until then. However, Israeli Army Chief Eyal Zamin has warned against intensifying the operation in Gaza. He has said that this operation can endanger the lives of hostages in Gaza. However, he said that the new plan will help in launching more strong attacks against Hamas and bringing back the hostages left there.
