Channel 14 News, which is close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said the government is considering ordering the army to occupy Gaza City soon, due to the stalemate in prisoner swap negotiations, the channel reported.

The channel added on Tuesday evening that the government "is watching with great satisfaction the excellent results of the maneuvers carried out by the Israeli army in recent weeks in the northern Gaza Strip," referring to the invasion, ground incursion, and bloody aerial bombardment in areas of the Gaza Strip, and the accompanying ethnic cleansing and genocide that included the displacement of residents and the destruction of homes and hospitals.

The channel reported that the political level is considering issuing an order to the Israeli army to head south and occupy Gaza City in the near future, and said that this operation is possible now, "especially in light of the ceasefire in Lebanon and the availability of more army forces to carry out large-scale and prolonged maneuvers."

She added that the final decision on this matter has not yet been made, "as the political-security cabinet meeting, which was scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, was postponed due to Netanyahu's admission to the hospital."

According to the channel, "Israel has begun to realize that the only thing that really hurts the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) is the loss of territory, so we will not be surprised if we see the Israeli army occupying Gaza City soon."
