Haaretz reported on Monday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will propose a plan to annex territory from the Gaza Strip to persuade Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich not to withdraw from the government.
The newspaper reported that under the proposed plan, Israel will give Hamas a few days to agree to a ceasefire. If Hamas does not comply, Israel will begin annexing territory in Gaza.
The newspaper noted that this plan will be presented to members of the security cabinet, following Netanyahu's recent decision to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, which was opposed by the right-wing Religious Zionism party, led by Smotrich.
