Israel sets ultimatum regarding Gaza, if no deal before Trump's visit.
Israel prepares for operation in Gaza
Israel has set a deadline for a new deal on hostage release and a ceasefire amid the looming large-scale operation in the Gaza Strip. According to Axios, if agreements are not reached by May 15, ground army intervention will begin. The plan involves gradual reoccupation and relocation of Palestinians to a 'humanitarian zone', the alternative of which is 'voluntary' departure beyond the enclave.
Gideon's Chariots Plan
The 'Gideon's Chariots' plan aims for the complete defeat of HAMAS and anticipates widespread destruction in Gaza. The military will level buildings and work on destroying tunnels previously discovered in Rafah and northern Gaza. Relocation of Palestinians to the humanitarian zone and their armed verification are key stages of the plan.
Threats and prospects
During the meal in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, Trump does not plan to visit Israel due to the escalation of the situation in Gaza. According to American and Israeli officials, the conflict in the enclave diverts attention from more important issues. Negotiations on ceasefire and hostage agreements have reached an impasse, and operation in Gaza may become a reality.
