Cabinet Issues Ultimatum: Last Chance for Mediators Before Israel Moves to Annex Gaza Land

In a dramatic escalation, the Israeli Security Cabinet has reportedly decided to give international mediators one final window to reach a ceasefire and hostage release agreement with Hamas. If no breakthrough occurs, officials warn that Israel will begin formal annexation of territories inside the Gaza Strip. The decision marks a sharp shift in strategic posture, with ministers citing Hamas’ intransigence and rising domestic pressure. The move is expected to spark widespread international backlash, but ministers insist “the era of Israeli restraint is over.”
