US EditionIsrael Preparing To Escalate Military Offensive in Gaza - News From Antiwar.com
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 3 – Israeli military plans to intensify operations in Gaza to free about 20 hostages amid Hamas's rejection of ceasefire talks and ongoing humanitarian crisis, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will gather the Diplomatic and Security Cabinet to determine the forthcoming strategy in the Gaza conflict amid ongoing hostilities and the hostage situation.
- A meeting is scheduled as divisions emerge within Israel’s leadership over how to advance military actions, with defense officials favoring containment of Hamas-held areas while certain ministers advocate for a broader reoccupation, all amid Hamas’s continued refusal of any hostages and disarmament deals.
- Netanyahu condemned Hamas’s starvation narrative, asserting that the hostages suffer systematic abuse while Israel maintains humanitarian aid efforts under significant international pressure to ease Gaza's blockade.
- A representative for Hamas’s military wing expressed willingness to cooperate with the Red Cross in delivering aid to hostages, provided Israel agrees to establish permanent humanitarian corridors and cease airstrikes during the distribution—stipulations that Israel has yet to accept.
- The planned escalation signals Israel’s intent to defeat Hamas militarily despite family members of captives opposing war expansion, with widespread concerns about the hostages’ immediate danger and Gaza’s deteriorating humanitarian situation.
