Former senior Israeli military official Avivi stated that Israel's mission to demilitarize Gaza is only just beginning, emphasizing that Israel will maintain operational freedom throughout the region to prevent future attacks. The Israeli government has approved a partial withdrawal of its forces, with soldiers set to leave approximately 27 percent of the territory currently under Israeli control. While the final map of the withdrawal has not been made public, sources indicate it is similar to a plan recently presented by the United States. Despite this move, officials stress that the broader conflict and Israel's objectives in Gaza are far from over.
