Israel Pushes Deeper Into Gaza as Netanyahu Warns of Losing Allies over Looming Famine. Here’s What We Know

  • Over the weekend of May 17-18, 2025, Israel initiated a new ground operation named 'Gideon's Chariot,' deploying forces throughout both the northern and southern regions of Gaza.
  • The offensive followed days of heavy airstrikes and aims to defeat Hamas and secure the release of hostages amid failed ceasefire talks in Doha after Trump's recent Middle East visit.
  • Health officials report that over 100 people died overnight, leading to the closure of Gaza's last operational hospital in the northern region, while Israeli authorities have agreed to permit a limited supply of food into the area to support ongoing military operations.
  • On May 19, Netanyahu warned that if famine arises in Gaza, Israel risks losing international support, including from staunch US senators who cannot accept images of mass starvation.
  • The escalating humanitarian crisis, worsened by an 11-week blockade impacting over 2.1 million people, could lead to widespread famine, and Israel plans aid entry through the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation while indirect Hamas-Israel talks continue.
