Israel’s Security Cabinet on Sunday night approved a plan to invade and occupy the Gaza Strip in an expanded ground operation.
The plan, named “Operation Gideon’s Chariots,” will go into effect if Hamas fails to make an agreement with Israel by the end of President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East next week, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Trump is set to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates from May 13 to 16, the second foreign trip of his second term.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the plan during a Q&A video on his X account, where he said conquered land will be retained, with reserve forces being stationed in seized areas, Jewish News Syndicate reported. Since the war began, the IDF has withdrawn from territory it previously seized, including large parts of northern Gaza.
