Jerusalem: Israeli Defense Minister Israeli dogs threatened to affiliate parts of the Gaza Strip on Friday until Hamas releases the remaining Israeli prisoners.
The warning came when Israel intensified the renewed attack launched on Tuesday, which resulted in peace on the relative, which ruled after the January 19 ceasefire.
Israeli attacks killed 11 people on Friday-three and eight more, Gaza’s Civil Defense Agency said.
On Thursday, after the bombing resumed, it reported the death of 504, the highest since October 2023.
In a statement, Katz said, “I ordered (the army) to occupy more territory in Gaza … Hamas refused to liberate the hostages (prisoners), so much more area would be lost, which would be linked to Israel.”
If Hamas is not compliant, Katz also threatened that “Israeli civilian populations and soldiers were threatened to increase the buffer zone around Gaza by imposing permanent Israeli occupation of the area.”
The Israeli army urged residents of the Salatin, Al -Kalam and Alada areas of southern Gaza to evacuate their homes on Friday before the threatening strike.
Israeli military spokesman Auche Edre said in a post on the X, “To protect you, go to the south to shelter.
‘Bridge’ suggestion
Hamas said it was reviewing the US proposal to restore the Gaza Seas fire as Israel intensified military operations to suppress the Palestinian group to liberate the remaining Israeli prisoners.
The purpose of the US Special Envoy Steve Watkov’s “Bridge” project presented last week is to extend the ceasefire by April, beyond Ramadan and Passover, to allow time to discuss the permanent elimination of hostages.
Hamas said it was still discussing the Vaticaf’s proposal and other ideas, aimed at reaching a prisoner release agreement, ending the dispute, and receiving the full withdrawal of the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip.
A Palestinian official said Egypt had also made a Burjing proposal, but Hamas has not yet received a response. The official refused to provide details on the project, which he said was considered.
Egyptian security sources said Egypt has suggested setting up a timeline to release the remaining prisoners for the full Israeli bridge out of Gaza with US bail.
Sources said that the United States had indicated preliminary approval, while the response between Hamas and Israel is expected soon.
Pressure points
Israel launched a severe bombing on Gaza on Tuesday, and earlier this month cited indirect negotiations on the next phase after the expiry of its first phase.
Its widespread military operations were resumed, compatible with the administration of US President Donald Trump, but he widely condemned.
Turkey condemns Israeli invasion of Gaza’s Turkish hospital “We strongly condemn the Turkish Palestinian friendship hospital’s destruction,” said its Foreign Ministry.
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed “concern” over a recent Israeli attack in a telephone call with Qatar’s ruler, one of the January Seas fire mediators.
Israeli President Ishaq Herzag expressed concern over the government’s actions in a video statement Thursday, saying that “it is unimportant to resume the fighting by following the sacred mission of bringing our hostages (prisoners) home.”
