In a high-level security meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu reviewed military options for Gaza amid collapsing hostage talks, signaling a possible all-out operation to dismantle Hamas and secure Israel’s captives.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a three-hour closed-door security meeting today, where the IDF Chief of Staff presented a range of operational plans for the next stage of the Gaza campaign.
Following the meeting, the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed:
“The IDF is prepared to implement any decision made by the Security Cabinet.”
This comes amid growing indications that Netanyahu intends to propose a full-scale military offensive aimed at seizing Gaza, dismantling Hamas, and securing the release of Israeli hostages still held since the October 7 massacre.
Negotiations Collapse, Military Option Rises
Israeli defense officials have determined that hostages cannot be freed under current negotiation terms. Hamas’s demands — deemed unacceptable by Jerusalem — include:
- Only a partial release of hostages.
- The release of hundreds of jailed terrorists, including elite Nukhba unit operatives.
- A full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
- A return to pre-war conditions as of October 6.
Previous diplomatic efforts have crumbled under these terms, pushing Israeli leadership toward a decisive military solution.
U.S. Green Light
Reports indicate that U.S. President Donald Trump has approved Israel’s potential military action against Hamas, signaling strong American backing for a decisive end to the conflict.
Meanwhile, sources in Jerusalem confirm that Netanyahu remains in high-level consultations with security, political, and military leaders on the next phase of the war.
If implemented, such an operation would mark the most extensive Israeli ground campaign in Gaza in decades — with the dual goal of destroying Hamas’s operational capabilities and bringing every hostage home.
