IDF to Continue to 'Operate Proactively' in Gaza, Military Chief Says
Hamas has agreed to disarm under a U.S.-backed plan, but Israel has kept blocking Gaza governance changes and withdrawal steps, officials said.
- On Wednesday, IDF Chief of General Staff Eyal Zamir stated the military "will not relent" in Gaza operations, continuing despite last week's "historic" ceasefire agreement announced by President Trump.
- President Trump announced a "historic" ceasefire deal last week, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the proposal on Tuesday, stating in a video message, "It is not our draft."
- Under the 15-point "Roadmap for Completing President Trump's Comprehensive Gaza Peace Plan," Hamas agreed last week to surrender heavy weaponry, yet Israel continues to block the 15-member National Committee for the Administration of Gaza from entering.
- Israel has expanded its physical occupation of Gaza territory from 53 per cent to more than 60 per cent, with Zamir explaining, "We are implementing the security strategy we defined, not only here, but along all of the State of Israel's borders."
- Reflecting on the October 7 massacre, Zamir emphasized on Wednesday that the pursuit of those responsible "is a permanent and ongoing mission," while more than 73,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the conflict began.
