Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz instructed the military to occupy more ground in Gaza amid renewed assaults as Hamas holds hostages. This escalation follows Israel's retaking of key areas in the conflict, heightening tensions after a truce. Katz warned of annexing territories if Hamas does not comply and mentioned expanding defensive buffer zones. Support from the Trump administration was reiterated, noting potential plans for Gaza to transform into a resort, contingent on relocating Palestinian inhabitants. The ongoing military actions continue to claim civilian lives in the region, as the conflict persists.

Katz indicated that the more Hamas resists releasing hostages, the more territory they will lose to Israel.
The Trump administration's support for Israel was reiterated with strong warnings to Hamas about the consequences of not releasing hostages.
