The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said that the political level gave the army the green light to gradually move during this month to the third and final phase of the war on Gaza.

The Israeli authority added that the decision was taken due to the exchange deal file and the tension on the northern front to avoid the expansion of the war.

She added that the third phase will include the forces remaining in the Netzarim and Philadelphia axes and other places in the Strip in order to maintain pressure on the Hamas movement if an exchange deal is not reached.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority explained that the green light given to the army would allow the military operation to continue, but in a different form.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel is approaching the end of the phase of eliminating the military capabilities of the Hamas movement and that it will continue to destroy it, as he put it.

Meanwhile, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for the imposition of military rule in the Gaza Strip, considering that the occupation of the Strip would prevent the return of Hamas and the restoration of its military capabilities.

During his meeting with members of his “Religious Zionism” party, Smotrich declared his complete opposition to stopping the war without achieving its goals declared by the Israeli government.
