➡️ The Israeli security cabinet is expected to approve the expansion of the war tomorrow, despite international pressure and opposition from top IDF generals.

➡️ The plan targets central Gaza, including Gaza City, and is expected to last several months, displacing about one million Palestinians. The IDF would also enter areas believed to hold hostages, raising risks to their lives.

➡️ Trump has decided not to intervene but does not support annexation of Gaza. IDF Chief of Staff Gen. Eyal Zamir warned Netanyahu that the operation could endanger hostages and lead to Israeli military rule over two million Palestinians, calling it “a trap.”
