The Israeli army will mobilize thousands of reserve soldiers in the coming days, to expand the attack in Gaza, while negotiations to ensure the failure of the ceasefire failure.
The invitation spoke after reports that the Chief of Staff of the Defense Forces in Israel, Lieutenant General Ayal Zamir, made a plan on Friday. The pressure on Hamas intensifies to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Defense Minister Israel Katz.
Israeli broadcaster Kan 11 stated that the Zamir plan included the arrangement of the removal of Palestinian civilians from the north and central Gaza before expanding operations in these areas, which reflects the tactics used earlier this year in the southern pocket.
Speaking on Sunday, Zamir said: “This week, we export thousands of requests to our reserve soldiers to intensify and expand our work in Gaza. We increase pressure on our people to return to Hamas and defeat.”
The Israeli army commander added that the army “will work in additional areas and destroy all infrastructure above and down.”
The news was anxious among the families of the 59 Israeli hostages, still by Hamas in Gaza. Most of the victims were kidnapped during the deadly Hamas attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, which raised 18 months The Israeli bombing that was killed More than 50,000 people in Gaza.
In what he described as an “urgent and honest” attractiveness, the headquarters and the lost families warned on Saturday that “any climbing in the fighting will put the hostages – both the neighborhoods and the dead – in an immediate danger.”
He added, “The vast majority of the Israeli public believes that the hostages return is the greatest moral priority for the nation.”
Negotiations have been paralyzed to ensure the release of the remaining hostages for weeks.
The talks are mediated by Egypt and Qatar has repeatedly failed. Hamas requires a permanent ceasefire and the total removal of Israel from Gaza, while Israel accuses Hamas of rejecting “reasonable offers.”
It seems that the hope for a diplomatic solution is further decreased during the weekend, when Netanyahu accused Qatar’s brokers of “playing on both sides” in negotiations and asked the state of Golf “to decide to be by civilization or to be on the side of Hamas’s brutality,” claiming that Israel is fighting a “fair war” with a fair means in Gaza.
It is not clear what Netanyahu’s enthusiastic statement is, but the statement occurs after reports in the Israeli media that Qatar pressed Hamas to reject an Egyptian proposal to stop the agreement.
Qatar rejected this claim on Sunday, and classified it as distorting its diplomatic efforts and accusing Israel of using humanitarian aid as a tool for political coercion.

“A legitimate question must be raised: At least 138 hostages have been achieved through only military operations” only “or the same mediation that is criticized and unfairly undermined?” He added.
On Thursday, Netanyahu explicitly stated for the first time that the defeat of Israel’s enemies was more important than ensuring the release of the remaining hostages, in the data that caused negative reactions from the representatives of their families. Previously, he described the defeat of Hamas and ensuring the hostage as the main targets of the Israeli war in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister’s Office announced on Saturday that it had rescheduled Netanyahu’s visit to Azerbaijan from May 7 to 11 “to a later date.”
