Israel military says it approved plan for new Gaza offensive

Approving the plan, the IDF released a statement that Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir approved the framework for a new offensive in Gaza.
Amid more than 22 months of fighting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government approved a framework for a new offensive in Gaza, sparking international and domestic criticism.
Amid ongoing strikes, Gaza’s civil defence agency reported heavy air strikes targeting civilian homes in Zeitoun and Sabra, and UN-backed experts warned of widespread famine.
Following the announcement, many Western powers criticized the plan, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres called it a “dangerous escalation.”
Israeli officials said it will take several weeks to plan the Gaza City operation as Hamas sent a delegation to Cairo shortly after approval.
