💨 Abstract

Israel has approved an expanded offensive against Hamas in Gaza, which may involve seizing the strip and controlling aid distribution. The offensive is expected to take months and would involve displacing the population and keeping aid from falling into Hamas' hands. The decision was made amid faltering efforts to reach a ceasefire and increasing international pressure on Israel. The offensive is expected to begin after US President Donald Trump's visit to the Middle East next week.
