This week, Israel announced an escalation of its ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, pledging to secure significant portions of the territory to pressure Hamas into surrender after more than 19 months of conflict.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Monday that Israeli forces might gain control over the entire Gaza enclave as part of the operation. However, the specifics of this claim remain unclear, as does whether the government will fully implement this strategy amid ongoing, intense cease-fire discussions, with external parties urging both sides toward a truce.
Some analysts interpret these military announcements as strategic moves aimed at increasing leverage over Hamas during negotiations.
Recent days have been especially deadly for Palestinians in Gaza, a region already devastated by prolonged warfare and suffering from an aid blockade that has led to widespread food shortages.
Key Points to Understand:

For several weeks, Israeli leadership has warned of a significant intensification in Gaza unless Hamas agrees to Israel’s conditions for a cease-fire.
