Israeli ministers have approved a plan to capture all of Gaza and maintain control indefinitely.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet voted to expand the war against Hamas in Gaza, with plans to seize the entire territory and hold it.
Israel’s public broadcaster Kan reported the details, as did The Times of Israel, citing officials with knowledge of the details.
The plan will be gradual over several months, the reports said. Security cabinet minister Zeev Elkin said this leaves the door open for ceasefire and hostage release talks.
“There is still a window of opportunity until President Trump concludes his visit to the Middle East, if Hamas understands we are serious,” Elkin told Kan on Monday.
Israel already controls around a third of Gaza.
A ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, which saw a two-month pause in bombing and exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, broke down in March.
Israel has imposed a total blockade of aid into Gaza, with humanitarians warning that food is now running out.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
