💨 Abstract

Israel plans to take over Gaza City, escalating its war with Hamas, despite warnings of increased humanitarian crises and loss of hostages. The move was met with Palestinian rejection and international outcry. The military offensive has already caused massive casualties and destruction. The decision comes after over two years of conflict, and while it may pressure Hamas to accept a ceasefire, it risks further straining Israel's military and endangering hostages.
