Netanyahu Expands Military Control Over Gaza Amid Stalled Cairo Talks

The latest strikes near Al-Aqsa Hospital underscore the volatility of the region while mediators struggle to bridge the divide between Israel and Hamas. Local health officials confirm that the death toll continues to rise even as diplomatic channels remain open. Netanyahu’s directive to expand territorial presence effectively sidelines demands for a troop withdrawal, leaving the ceasefire in a state of collapse. With key points of contention unresolved, the military footprint in Gaza grows, complicating the path toward a sustained truce and humanitarian relief.
