The proposal, which was discussed at a meeting on Friday, reflects the growing pressure from the Religious Zionism party, whose ministers are advocating for a clear commitment to renew the war unless progress is made on the hostage release negotiations.
According to the document, if an additional hostage release plan is not agreed upon, Israel would resume its military actions to completely dismantle Hamas. The proposal specifically ties the resumption of fighting to the continuation of the stages two and three negotiations for the release of the remaining hostages, highlighting the urgency of these talks. If the negotiations fail to yield an agreement, the Israeli government has committed to renewing the conflict until Hamas is fully destroyed.
The proposal outlines in detail the objectives for resuming military operations, which would focus on weakening and eventually eliminating Hamas’ military capabilities, as well as its political and organizational infrastructures. This would also involve targeting the capabilities of the Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza. The primary goal of the renewed fighting would be to create the conditions necessary for the safe return of all hostages.
Additionally, the document emphasizes the importance of continuing the pressure on Hamas by eliminating senior figures within the organization and targeting its broader economic and organizational networks. This would serve the dual purpose of crippling Hamas’s operational strength and creating long-term security conditions in the region.
In response to the evolving situation and the dynamics surrounding the hostage negotiations, the Political-Security Cabinet also decided to update the broader objectives of the war. This includes adding a specific focus on strengthening security in Judea and Samaria, a region that has seen increasing tensions due to the ongoing conflict and the ceasefire deal.
Netanyahu’s presentation underscores the government’s readiness to take decisive action to ensure the return of all hostages and to confront the ongoing threat posed by Hamas, while balancing the complex diplomatic negotiations surrounding the hostage release plan, Israel national news contributed to this article.
