The Israeli "Cabinet" discusses a military operation that may be "inevitable" in Gaza.

The Hebrew broadcasting authority stated that "Cabinet ministers estimated that a new military operation in the Gaza Strip may be inevitable."

The broadcasting authority reported, citing informed political sources, that ministers in the "Cabinet" believe that "the growing power of Hamas in Gaza may make a new military operation unavoidable."

The sources added that "this assessment was presented during a Cabinet session last week, where security agencies reviewed the situation in Gaza and provided evidence, according to the Israeli narrative, of the increased capabilities of Hamas and its refusal to relinquish its weapons."

The authority also quoted a senior Israeli official saying that "Israel will take military action if the U.S. administration fails to find a mechanism to ensure the disarmament of Hamas."

Despite the recent escalation and incidents that have put the ceasefire agreement in doubt, Israeli estimates, according to the broadcasting authority, indicate that the current ceasefire in Gaza "will not collapse soon," and that Hamas "does not seek to undermine the understandings," but rather demands that mediators intervene to pressure Israel to adhere to the agreement.

Earlier, Hamas considered the expansion of the occupation army's control areas in Gaza recently as a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire agreement, calling on mediators and the U.S. administration to confront attempts by Tel Aviv to undermine the ceasefire process in the Gaza Strip.

The ceasefire agreement in Gaza, based on U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war, came into effect on the 10th of last month.

This agreement ended a genocide that began on October 8, 2023, and lasted for two years, resulting in more than 69,000 martyrs and over 170,000 injured, with massive destruction affecting 90 percent of the civilian infrastructure.

The occupation has committed numerous violations of the agreement, leading to the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of Palestinians, and it continues to impose restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

The occupying state conditions the start of negotiations to launch the second phase of the agreement on receiving the remains of the remaining Israeli prisoners, while Hamas has confirmed on several occasions that it takes time to extract them due to the massive destruction in Gaza.

In contrast, there are 9,500 missing Palestinians killed by the Israeli army, and their bodies remain under the rubble of the Israeli genocide, according to the government media office in Gaza.

Last Tuesday, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution that includes the formation of international stabilization forces to be deployed in Gaza and a peace council headed by U.S. President Donald Trump to manage affairs in Gaza during a transitional period lasting until the end of 2027.
