New war between Hamas and Israel ‘almost inevitable’ as Palestinians live trapped in Gaza
At least 828 Palestinians have been killed since the truce between Hamas and Israel began, and Israeli forces have expanded their territorial control to 59% of the Gaza Strip. A senior Israeli military official said an additional round of fighting was 'almost inevitable' due to Hamas's refusal to surrender its weapons.
The Israeli military has ramped up pressure to resume hostilities in Gaza despite a ceasefire in place since October. According to local medical sources, 828 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began. Israeli forces have expanded their territorial control to 59% of the Gaza Strip by gradually pushing the ceasefire-established 'Yellow Line' westward. A senior official in the Israeli military's General Staff said an additional round of fighting was 'almost inevitable'. Mediators are applying intense pressure on Palestinian factions to accept a new framework that would require the complete disarmament of Hamas within 281 days. Palestinian factions have universally rejected the disarmament prerequisite, insisting on the full implementation of the first phase of the ceasefire.
