Defense Minister Katz on the progress of ground operations in Gaza: "Hundreds of thousands of Gaza residents have evacuated to date, and tens of percent of the territory of the Strip has been added to the security zones.
Unlike in the past, the IDF is not evacuating areas that have been cleared and seized. The IDF will remain in the security zones as a buffer between the enemy and the settlements in any situation, temporary or permanent."
At the same time as stopping humanitarian aid, an infrastructure is being created for distribution through civil society organizations in the future.
The pressure on Hamas to carry out the deal is heavy, and the tension between it and the local population is growing.
The Egyptians also set for the first time as a condition for a comprehensive deal and an end to the war the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of Gaza."
