Israel is reportedly preparing to take full control of the Gaza Strip, marking a significant escalation in its ongoing conflict with Hamas. According to local media, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to move forward with occupying all remaining areas of Gaza, including zones where hostages are believed to be held. This shift comes amid a collapse in ceasefire talks and growing frustration over the fate of hostages. The plan has exposed divisions within Israel's leadership, with some military officials opposing the strategy due to concerns about humanitarian consequences and risks to captives. If implemented, the move could have far-reaching effects on Gaza's population and regional stability, as aid agencies warn of a potential humanitarian disaster.
