The Israeli cabinet has approved the extension of a special order that authorizes the regime\u2019s military to recruit up to 400,000 soldiers for reserve duty by the end of May 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move came on Sunday after Israel prevented its ceasefire deal with the Hamas resistance group from going to the second phase, raising speculations about a resumption of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. A copy of the order said that 2025 would be considered a \u201cyear of war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel launched its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7, 2023, after Hamas carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tel Aviv regime failed to achieve its declared objectives of freeing captives and eliminating Hamas despite killing at least 48,388 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel accepted Hamas\u2019s longstanding negotiation terms under the three-phase Gaza truce, which began on January 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In phase one, which ended on Saturday, a total of 33 Israeli captives, including eight bodies, were released in exchange for 1,737 Palestinian abductees held in the regime\u2019s jails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel insisted on the extension of the initial phase. However, Hamas called for advancing to the second phase, which includes the release of all remaining living Israeli captives, a full withdrawal of the occupation troops from Gaza, and a permanent end to the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hamas condemned Israel\u2019s \u201congoing manipulation\u201d with its proposed extension of the initial phase of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Sunday, Israel blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi said in a statement that \u201cthe only path to regional stability and the return of the prisoners is the full implementation of the agreement, starting with the second phase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hamas wants the second phase to include negotiations for a permanent ceasefire, a complete pullout of Israeli forces from Gaza, the territory\u2019s reconstruction, \u201cand then the release of prisoners as part of an agreed-upon deal,\u201d he added. \u201cThis is what we insist on, and we will not back down from it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
