Israel's Plan to Sever Ties with Gaza Amidst Looming Ground Offensive

Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has revealed that the military campaign in Gaza will involve three phases, with the ultimate goal of ending Israeli responsibility for the territory. The first phase is focused on destroying Hamas military infrastructure, followed by "lower intensity" operations to eliminate pockets of resistance. The third phase aims to establish a new security reality for Israeli citizens by removing Israel's responsibility for life in Gaza. As Israel prepares for a potential ground invasion, concerns arise over the devastating impact on Palestinian civilians and the possibility of a wider regional conflict.
