What are the goals of Israel's new offensive?
The Israeli army has launched a new offensive, Gideon's Chariots, aimed at defeating Hamas and freeing hostages. The offensive plan was approved by the Israeli government last week and involves relocating Palestinian civilians to the south and seizing strategic areas of the Gaza Strip.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the campaign will be carried out with full force.
What are the international reactions to Israel's actions?
While Israel continues its military operations, there is growing international concern about the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has imposed a blockade on humanitarian aid deliveries, leading to criticism from the UN and aid organizations. Israel declares that aid will be resumed with the participation of the USA, but under new terms to prevent it from being diverted by Hamas.
What are the prospects for a ceasefire?
Despite increasing pressure from the USA, which is urging a ceasefire, Israel rejects truce proposals that do not ensure the disarmament of Hamas.
Hamas has shown readiness to agree to a ceasefire and release hostages, but only if the conflict ends. Meanwhile, Israel is continuing its efforts to dismantle Hamas and free the hostages.
