Negotiations on a hostage and ceasefire deal in Gaza appear to be at an impasse, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leaning towards expanded military operations and Hamas demanding the humanitarian situation be addressed before it returns to talks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to convene his security cabinet on Tuesday. In the meeting, Netanyahu plans to ask for their support in the "full conquest of the strip." Multiple outlets claim Netanyahu wants the Israeli military to expand its operations across the entire enclave.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to propose fully reoccupying the Gaza Strip when he meets his security cabinet, Israeli media say. "The die has been cast. We're going for the full conquest of the Gaza Strip – and defeating Hamas," local journalists quote a senior official saying.

Sources within Netanyahu’s government spoke to Israeli media outlets about the plan, a stark departure in Israel’s tactics in Gaza.
