“Israel” is preparing to implement a “major plan” outlined by the occupation military’s new chief of staff, Major General Eyal Zamir, regarding the Gaza Strip, Israeli daily\u00a0Haaretz\u00a0<\/em>reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Zamir\u2019s plan involves a large-scale ground offensive in Gaza, utilizing several divisions and a significant number of reserve units, under the belief that it may finally achieve the goal that “Israel” has failed to accomplish for nearly a year and a half since the last war: the complete destruction of Hamas’ authority and military capabilities.<\/p>\n

The paper suggested that “Israel” is gradually revealing its true intentions, signaling a large-scale step toward the occupation and\u00a0full control of Gaza<\/a>. While negotiations appear unlikely to yield results, “Israel” is preparing the ground for a major military escalation.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously,\u00a0Haaretz\u00a0<\/em>noted that right-wing factions in the Israeli government are pushing for the return of settlements in Gaza and for the forced expulsion of Palestinians, which would be presented as “voluntary migration” with the backing of US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

According to security sources cited by\u00a0Haaretz<\/em>, while “Israel” is leaving the door open for a potential phased deal, which could include the release of prisoners, political pressure from the government to expand the fighting is likely to lead to further escalation without any agreement being reached.<\/p>\n

Trump’s boundless support<\/h2>\n

Regarding the United States’ role, families of captives in Gaza holding US citizenship have reportedly been informed by Trump administration officials that the president is prepared to offer his support to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding a large-scale ground invasion.<\/p>\n

According to the families involved in the talks, Trump has no intention of pressuring Netanyahu to return to the deal-making process or advance a peace plan. They pointed out that “communications have come to a complete standstill at this stage, and expectations for reaching another agreement are bleak.”<\/p>\n

Israeli journalist Amit Segal, who is familiar with Netanyahu’s government, said that Netanyahu is preparing to make a “complete game-changing move” with full backing from Trump, as cited by\u00a0Yedioth Ahronoth<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Reservists want out<\/h2>\n

In light of the possibility of an expanded war on Gaza and its threat to the lives of prisoners and Israeli soldiers,\u00a0Haaretz\u00a0<\/em>emphasized that discussions over\u00a0military reserves are heating up<\/a>\u00a0once again. For the first time in a while, reserve soldiers\u2014including pilots and navigators in the Israeli Air Force\u2014are considering ending their voluntary service in response to the developments.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Financial Times<\/em>\u00a0reported that concerns are mounting over the Israeli military’s capacity to sustain prolonged warfare. Historically, “Israel” has engaged in short, decisive wars\u2014often lasting only days or weeks\u2014to limit the strain on its reservists, who supplement the regular army.<\/p>\n

With no clear resolution in sight, both military analysts and reservists\u00a0are warning of increasing attrition<\/a>, as personal and professional lives remain indefinitely disrupted.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, opposition to Netanyahu\u2019s government has been growing, particularly regarding his decision to dismiss the head of the Shin Bet security service, Ronen Bar.\u00a0Haaretz\u00a0<\/em>reported that this constitutional crisis over Bar’s dismissal, along with Netanyahu\u2019s intention to fire the government’s legal adviser, Gali Beharev Miara, will merge with the growing debate over the nature of the war in Gaza.<\/p>\n

“It is difficult to rule out the possibility that this is the direction Netanyahu desires\u2014facing strong opposition on multiple fronts, escalating tensions with his adversaries, and attempting to achieve his ultimate goal: remaining in power while delaying his criminal trial,”\u00a0Haaretz\u00a0<\/em>concluded.<\/p>\n
