Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip: Conquest aimed at in record time!
The Israeli army has significantly increased its offensive in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the plan was to completely capture the entire coastal area. According to reports from the Stuttgart News The military wants to bring three-quarters of the Gaza Strip under control within a few weeks. The Israeli army currently controls around 40 percent of the area.
Current information suggests that the **Palestinian civilian population** will be pushed to a quarter of the enclosed coastal area. A central goal of this offensive is to liberate Gaza from the Islamist Hamas, like that Wall Street Journal reported. According to Chief of General Staff Ejal Zamir, the pressure on Hamas is enormous.
Ceasefire negotiations underway
Despite increased military activity, Israel has resumed indirect ceasefire negotiations. These talks are taking place in the Gulf emirate of Qatar and are aimed at an agreement on the release of hostages and an end to hostilities, such as ZDF reported. Netanyahu stressed that Israel was taking “full force” against Hamas while trying to increase pressure on the organization to release the hostages.
A large-scale deployment of ground troops across the Gaza Strip was launched on Saturday. Plans by Israel's security cabinet to capture and maintain control of the Gaza Strip have been approved. It remains unclear whether this should cover the entire area or just parts of it. But Netanyahu let it be known that Israeli soldiers should remain in controlled areas, which has drawn international criticism.
Humanitarian crisis and international responses
As the military situation worsens, aid organizations are warning of impending famine in the Gaza Strip, where around two million Palestinians live. Israel has not allowed aid shipments into the region since early March but plans to allow them again under a new mechanism. UN reports speak of “ethnic cleansing” in the area.
In recent weeks there have been repeated incidents and conflicts in the course of ceasefire negotiations. For example, on March 1, 2025, the first phase of an agreement on a ceasefire and the exchange of hostages ended. This agreement lasted six weeks and temporarily improved the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. However, both sides, both Hamas and Israel, have not always stayed true to their agreements, leading to ongoing uncertainty daily news reported.
The incident in which Hamas handed over the body of a woman who was considered a hostage instead of a living hostage caused particular outrage. Such situations further strain the trust between the negotiating parties.
Amid this conflict, there is no clear proposal from Israel regarding the future posture in Gaza. However, Egypt has put forward a proposal for a technocratic government to be discussed at a planned summit of Arab states.
Overall, the situation in the Gaza Strip remains tense, while all eyes are on the next developments in the negotiations and possible military decisions.
