The operation, which could consist of a total of 125,000 troops, would move hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from northern Gaza to the south, with the IDF transferring tents and shelter equipment to southern Gaza while warning of overcrowded conditions.

This comes as Hamas accepted a 60-day cease-fire proposal that would exchange Palestinian prisoners for 10 living hostages and the remains of deceased hostages, but Israel has not yet provided an official response to the deal.

Families of Israeli hostages, who recently joined hundreds of thousands of protesters in the streets of Israel, have opposed the military expansion, fearing it could endanger the remaining 20 hostages believed to be alive and 30 bodies held in Gaza.

Approving plans to occupy Gaza while a cease-fire deal sits on the table essentially torpedoes negotiations and stabs families in the heart. The conditions are ripe for a deal that could bring hostages home safely. Military pressure has failed to defeat Hamas after 22 months of fighting.

After years of justified self-defense, Israel must now show restraint in Gaza. While recognizing Palestine is morally right, it's currently premature amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Hamas' toxic ideology must first be eradicated, necessitating Israel's temporary occupation of Gaza to ensure peace. At the same time, a timely, conditions-based path to statehood will secure safety for Israelis and Palestinians.

Israel must occupy Gaza City to dismantle Hamas's remaining brigades, which use civilians as shields and steal aid. This is vital to neutralize threats and push for a hostage deal, with intelligence-led operations ensuring hostage safety. Innocent Palestinians must also be relocated south via warned evacuations, with expanded hospitals and aid in Al-Muwasi. Denying Gazans this right, as Europe does, perpetuates peril; relocation offers safety and peace.

Israel's diplomatic claims are a ruse; its true aim is permanent occupation of Gaza, erasing Palestine, while similar moves unfold in the West Bank. As seen in Israel's E1 project, which expands settlements, Gaza faces relentless control, defying official international laws and displacing communities. Only the U.S. can halt this, but Washington's silence signals impending doom.
