Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly told the military to prepare for a full takeover of the Gaza Strip, including areas where hostages are being held.
A source in the Prime Minister's Office told The Jerusalem Post on Monday that the message had been passed on to IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir saying: 'If this does not suit you, then you should resign.'
It comes as Netanyahu prepares to meet with top officials to decide on the next steps in Gaza and what to do about the remaining hostages.
An Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post: 'The prime minister is considering all available options regarding the next steps.'
The official added that US President Donald Trump's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff had flown back to Washington for talks.
