Escalation in Gaza Amid Legal and Political Turmoil in Israel

 


Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, has ordered ground forces to advance deeper into the Gaza Strip, intensifying military operations. This move comes as part of efforts to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages. Israeli troops have reportedly retaken strategic areas, including the Netzarim corridor, and are advancing toward key locations such as Beit Lahiya and Rafah. The military has also reinstated a blockade on northern Gaza, further escalating tensions.

Critics argue that the dismissal is a politically motivated move, while supporters of Bar have staged protests against the decision.

The dual developments underscore the complex and volatile situation in the region, with military actions in Gaza and political disputes in Israel unfolding simultaneously.
