Israeli military chief pushes back on expanding Gaza war, sources say

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing resistance from the country's military chief, Eyal Zamir, over plans to seize the remaining areas of Gaza not yet under Israeli control. During a tense meeting, Zamir warned that expanding operations could trap Israeli forces in Gaza and endanger hostages still held by Hamas. The ongoing conflict has devastated much of Gaza, displacing most of the population and pushing many to the brink of famine. International pressure is mounting for a ceasefire, especially after videos of emaciated hostages sparked global outrage and as humanitarian conditions worsen. Despite these concerns, Netanyahu intends to push forward with expanded military actions, while Defense Minister Israel Katz has defended the military chief's right to voice his concerns. The situation remains highly volatile as further discussions among Israeli leaders are scheduled.
