TOP News Brief
Israeli ministers have called for a renewed military offensive in Gaza and pressed Prime Minister Netanyahu to formally reject the second phase of Trump's ceasefire roadmap, the Palestine Chronicle reported. The ministers demanded that Hamas be eliminated as a strategic objective, framing the group's destruction as essential to Israel's security interests.
The pressure from Netanyahu's coalition partners signals deep internal disagreement over the terms of any potential agreement. The ministers' stance suggests resistance within the government to accepting limitations on military operations or phased withdrawal frameworks that would allow continued diplomatic engagement with Palestinian leadership.
