PNN – The Israeli political and security cabinet, against the opposition of Israeli security and military officials and with the aim of increasing pressure on Hamas, approved plans to expand military operations and a preliminary plan to distribute humanitarian aid to Gaza.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing the Israeli television channel Seven, after seven hours of discussion and deliberation, the regime’s political and security cabinet (Sunday) finally approved plans to expand the scope of the war in Gaza, as well as a new plan for the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
According to Channel Seven, the meeting also discussed new operational plans to increase pressure on Hamas, including a large-scale ground maneuver and entry into the Gaza Strip. The Zionist media outlet claimed that: Israeli military forces (regime) are expected to be stationed in Gaza for a long time.
According to this Zionist media outlet, the presentation of the initial and new plan for distributing humanitarian aid to Gaza in the cabinet met with serious opposition from Itamar Ben-Giver, the regime’s far-right Minister of Internal Security. Ben-Gweir claimed that Gaza residents have enough food and stressed that Hamas food warehouses should be bombed. He added: We have no legal obligation to provide them with food.
Eyal Zamir, the regime’s army chief of staff, who opposed expanding military operations in Gaza due to the risk to the lives of Zionist prisoners, responded to Ben-Gwer’s statements by saying: These ideas endanger Israel’s (international image).

According to the regime’s Channel 7 TV, according to the approved preliminary plan, future humanitarian aid will be provided under the supervision of the United States and the Israeli regime and through an international fund without Hamas intervention.
Also in this regard, the Zionist authorities called up tens of thousands of the regime’s reserve soldiers to increase the scope of the war in Gaza. According to the report, the reserve forces will be divided into different battalions and integrated into the ground battle and will act as regular units to seize the Gaza Strip.
According to this Zionist media outlet, the “Wallanews” news site quoted a senior Israeli official as saying: The expansion of the military operation, approved by the cabinet, will be implemented in about 10 days, after the end of US President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East. The senior Israeli official added that by then, reserve forces will be trained to expand the military operation in Gaza.
According to a report by Wallanews, it was decided in a cabinet meeting that by the time the US President arrives in Saudi Arabia, great efforts will be made to reach a prisoner release agreement with Hamas. He said: Israel wants Hamas to accept the Egyptian proposal as well as the plan of Steve Whittock, the White House representative for Middle East affairs, according to which several prisoners will be released in exchange for a temporary extension of the ceasefire.
The Israeli regime is currently trying, in violation of international law and using all means of war, including the ban on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, a severe siege and starvation, as well as the expansion of military operations in the territory, to pressure Hamas into accepting its proposed plan for the release of prisoners without making any concessions.
The occupiers are also pursuing another goal by claiming a new plan to distribute humanitarian aid to Gaza. Using the leverage of humanitarian aid, the regime seeks to take full control of the territory and disarm the Gaza resistance.
Tel Aviv wants to disarm the Gaza resistance, implement the plan to displace Gaza’s residents without any obstacles, and after ethnic cleansing, eventually annex Gaza to the occupied territories.
