Israel has called up tens of thousands of reservists in preparation for a new offensive targeting Gaza City, aiming to take control of the area despite international criticism. As the Israeli government weighs a ceasefire proposal, the military plans to conduct a precise operation against Hamas, which it claims has been significantly weakened. However, concerns about civilian casualties and displacement remain high, with many Gazans expressing despair over the ongoing conflict. Israeli public sentiment largely favors ending the war if it leads to the release of hostages, presenting a complex backdrop to the military’s next moves and the potential for negotiations.
