About a month in a fresh ground operation of Israel, US banking appears to shape the conflict at several levels – basically, diplomatically and politically. Israeli officials have suggested that the possibility of a mortgage deal has increased considerably, with some anticipated development within the next two weeks.
On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Sitting near Netanyahu at the Oval office, President Donald Trump told reporters, “We are trying hard to get the hostages out. We are seeing another ceasefire. We will see what happens.” Comment highlighted Trump’s double track approach: diplomatic pressure on Iran and direct support for Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
Israeli authorities have expanded their aggressive in Rafah and strategically important Morg corridor, with the description described as a “free hand” to operate. The declared objective is to increase pressure on Hamas and help secure the release of the remaining 59 hostages.

A senior Israeli security officer told Fox News Digital that the campaign was being done in close coordination with the United States. “Everything is coordinated with Americans – both dialogue and operational activity. The goal is to bring homes home. Now we have an independent hand to work, and no longer to face a veto threat in the United Nations Security Council, opposite to the previous administration.”
The same official pointed out a change in human policy, taking advantage of Israel, in his view. “Contrary to previous administration, the US is not forcing 350 support trucks every day in Gaza.” The official said, “the official said, adding that helping the help reduces the ability to control the population with limited assistance.
On Saturday, Israeli Defense Minister Yisarel Katj announced that the IDF had completed the acquisition of Morg Axis. Morg Corridor – Which separates Rafa from Khan Younis – is part of an attempt to install a new buffer zone and degrade the operating capabilities of Hamas. The official said, “The argument is that the more the area loses Hamas, the more likely it is to compromise on a mortgage deal.”
IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Ile Zameer strengthened the strategy during a visit to front-line units this week. He said, “I hope you will defeat Rafah Brigade and lead to win wherever you are fighting,” he told the soldiers. The IDF had previously demolished the Rafah Brigade in September, but the forces have returned to major strongholds, where tunnel networks remain.

In the same statement on Saturday, Katz warned Ghazan, “Hamas residents or unable to protect the region. Hamas leaders are hiding in tunnels with their families or living in luxury hotels abroad, with billions in bank accounts, it is time to use you as human shields.
In their Oval office meeting, Trump and Netanyahu reiterated their alignment on main issues. Netanyahu stated that Ghazan “must be free to choose wherever she wants,” some analysts have seen in terms of renewed discussion about the rehabilitation of the third country. Trump proceeded, floating the idea of American appearance in the strip, given, “Gaza is an incredible piece of significant real estate. There will be a peace force like the United States, controlling the Gaza Strip and ownership would be a good thing.”
Javed Ali, a former senior director at the US National Security Council and a professor at Michigan University, introduced a more measured scene about the current military strategy. “Now that we are doing almost a full month to resume the high-intensity IDF operations in the Gaza Strip against Hamas, Israel’s military strategy focuses on cleaning and catching the remaining pockets of the known Hamas elements known, which is displacing the Palestinians throughout the region at the same time.”

Ali said that it is not clear how Israel intends to manage or operate areas that clean it. He compared American experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. “The US faced its challenges with the same ‘clear and grip’ approach in 9/11 wars, as rebel and jihadi elements in both conflicts used guerrilla war strategy and terrorist attacks.”
While the Biden administration had earlier emphasized human reach, Ali said that the current White House has not publicly suppressed Israel to return its operation. “It can change,” he said, especially deteriorating as human conditions or if the progress of its nuclear program is negotiated with Iran. “If they gain momentum, Iran can pressurize the US to curb the residue of the group to curb the Israel’s campaign against Hamas. Whether the US team, led by Steve Witcoff, entertains such demands, there will be a significant regional development to see it.”
On the ground, Israel has gone to re -open the human landscape in Gaza. The decision to ban Hamas’s aid reflects a comprehensive policy change under the IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eal Zameer, who reversed his predecessor’s stance and authorized the army to directly oversee the delivery of the supply. An Israeli security officer explained, “Hamas would not gain control, as it was its lifeline.” “This allows to maintain control over the area during this period. People in Gaza know that Hamas controls aid; If they find out that Hamas does not do now, its control within the bandage becomes ineffective.”

Human organizations and international leaders condemn Israel. Speaking on 8 April, United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Gutres condemned the ongoing blockade. He said, “A whole month has passed without a drop of assistance in more than a whole month. No food. No fuel. No medicine. Gaza is a murder area – and citizens are in an endless death loop,” he said.
Israeli’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Oren Marmorastein, strongly rejected the claims of the general secretary. “As usual, you do not let the facts come on the way while spreading slander against Israel,” he posted on X. “There is no lack of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip – more than 25,000 aid trucks have entered during 42 days of ceasefire. Hamas has used this aid to re -perform his war machine. They are calling, loudly and clear, to stop and prevent them from abusing them.”

“No one needs the Supreme Court of Israel to say that there is no starvation in Gaza to say that there is no starvation in Gaza – it was found in June that the previous report is not wrong.”
