Israel planning renewed Gaza offensive in March, report says

The Israeli military has reportedly planned a renewed offensive in Gaza for March to seize more land and push its control further west towards the coast. This plan exists despite a US-brokered ceasefire from October 2025, which Hamas accuses Israel of repeatedly violating. Hamas states it is ready to dissolve its governing bodies for a technocratic committee but accuses Israel of obstructing the next phase of the peace plan. The formation of an international stabilization force has been complicated by Israel's opposition to Turkey's participation, which has discouraged other potential partners. Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to worsen due to the ongoing blockade and severe weather.
