Israel is preparing to intensify its military operations in Gaza after ceasefire and hostage release talks with Hamas stalled. A senior Israeli official stated that Hamas has not shifted its demands, leading Israel to lose patience with the negotiation process. Following discussions between the United States envoy and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, both countries agreed not to pursue any partial hostage release deals. The official emphasized that Israel's objectives are now focused on eliminating Hamas, demilitarizing Gaza, and securing the return of all hostages.
