Israel issues ultimatum to Hamas: Deal within two weeks or expanded war
If Hamas does not agree to Israel’s proposed outline – including the release of 10 hostages in exchange for a 45-day ceasefire – the military operation in Gaza will be significantly expanded, the security cabinet decided on Sunday night.
“The security cabinet unanimously approved the operational plan presented by the chief of staff to defeat Hamas in Gaza and bring back the hostages,” a senior political source said after the meeting.
