The developments raise questions about the viability of a cease-fire proposal.Listen to this article \u00b7 8:34 min Learn moreShare full articleAn Israeli military vehicle on Israel\u2019s side of the border with Gaza on Tuesday.Credit...Amir Cohen\/ReutersBy Lara JakesLara Jakes frequently writes about the war in Gaza.Aug. 20, 2025Israel on Wednesday approved new settlements in the West Bank and announced that it was moving ahead with plans to take over Gaza City, bucking international criticism and defying growing support for the creation of an independent Palestinian state.The moves raised questions about whether a new cease-fire proposal \u2014 which officials have said is similar to terms that Israel previously endorsed \u2014 could move forward.Experts said the two moves suggested Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was bending to the ideologies of extremists in his coalition in order to remain in power \u2014 even at the cost of isolating Israel internationally.The idea of a Palestinian state \u201cis being erased from the table,\u201d Bezalel Smotrich, the hard-line finance minister, declared after the government approved a settlement project of 3,400 housing units in the heart of the occupied West Bank.\u201cEvery town, every neighborhood, every housing unit is another nail in the coffin of this dangerous idea,\u201d Mr. Smotrich said on Wednesday.At the same time, the Israeli military said it was advancing plans to take over Gaza City, with troops already on the city\u2019s outskirts and tents being moved into southern Gaza for displaced people.An additional 60,000 reservists would be told to report for duty in September, while troops have already obtained \u201coperational control\u201d over 75 percent of the Gaza Strip, the military said in statements. The United Nations has put that number closer to 90 percent.The military \u201chas begun the next phase of the war,\u201d Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, the Israeli military\u2019s chief spokesman, said.The looming assault aims to prevent Hamas \u2014 which led the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, onslaught on southern Israel that started the war \u2014 from regrouping and planning future attacks, an Israeli military official, who requested anonymity in line with military protocol, told journalists at a briefing on Wednesday.About 1,200 people were killed and around 250 others kidnapped during the 2023 assault. After nearly two years of Israel\u2019s retaliatory war against Hamas, the Gaza Strip has been largely leveled and parts of it have been brought to the brink of famine. More than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Gazan health ministry, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians.Want to stay updated on what\u2019s happening in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza Strip?

General Assembly in September. While the United States has for years endorsed a so-called two-state solution, it has blocked recent efforts to recognize full Palestinian statehood under current conditions.Prospects for a functional Palestinian state have been dim for years, and its boundaries have never been clear.Mr. Netanyahu has not publicly shared his position on the new cease-fire proposal, which Hamas has accepted and was announced this week by Qatari and Egyptian mediators. But a statement that his office released on Wednesday night seemed to signal that the military operation was soon to begin.Mr. Smotrich has led a pressure campaign by hard-liners who have threatened to quit Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s coalition, and potentially bring down his government, if the proposed cease-fire deal was pursued.Orit Strock, a minister in Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s government and a member of the far-right Religious Zionism party, warned the prime minister in a radio interview about accepting a deal that did not defeat Hamas and put \u201cthe value of returning the hostages above the national interest.\u201d\u201cThis will push the country into a horrible abyss,\u201d Ms. Strock told Army Radio. \u201cSo it is very possible that we will say we will not be prepared to lend our hand to the government.\u201dThe new proposal has been described as a \u201cpartial deal\u201d that would not immediately release all hostages and would postpone discussions about ending the war, including the issue of disarming Hamas.As many as 20 hostages are still believed to be alive, according to the Israeli authorities. The bodies of 30 others, they say, are also being held in Gaza. Many Israelis fear that Hamas will kill the remaining hostages if the military operation goes forward.The Israeli official who briefed journalists on Wednesday described the military operation as \u201cgradual, precise and targeted,\u201d saying it would extend into areas of Gaza City where Israeli soldiers had not previously been during the war.The city and its surrounding neighborhoods remain a stronghold for Hamas fighters and the militants\u2019 government, the official said.ImagePalestinians inspect the site of an overnight Israeli strike on a house, in Gaza City on Wednesday.Credit...Dawoud Abu Alkas\/ReutersTwo other Israeli military officials said the operation would unfold in parts.First, troops would encircle Gaza City while allowing the population to move south, passing through checkpoints to prevent Palestinian militants from escaping. Then, the troops would move in with force. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss operational details.Ahmed Saleh, 45, said Israeli troops were sending remote-controlled vehicles packed with explosives to blow up buildings, block by block, in the Zeitoun neighborhood near where he lives in Gaza City.\u201cI hear the big explosions all the time; they are getting closer,\u201d said Mr. Saleh, adding that he would try to stay in his home for as long as possible. If he is forced to leave, Mr. Saleh said, he would head west to a beachfront, where he previously lived in a tent while waiting for the violence to ebb.Although worried that Israeli forces will close escape routes to the west, Mr. Saleh said he will not move to southern Gaza, as Israel is demanding of displaced residents.\u201cThere are no services there at all, but most importantly, there is no room left for newcomers in the south,\u201d he said. \u201cI know no one there and have no more money to pay for that trip.\u201dAs the international community has focused on the devastating war in Gaza, the Israeli government has barreled ahead with settlement construction in the West Bank.The project that was given final approval on Wednesday, known as East One, or E1, was delayed for more than two decades. While the United States had pressured Israel to reject settlement expansion, the Trump administration has been far less critical of settlements than most of the international community, which generally considers them to be illegal and obstacles to Israeli-Palestinian peace.About 500,000 Israeli settlers and about three million Palestinians live in the West Bank.The Israeli authorities have advanced plans for more than 20,000 housing units as of late July, already the highest tally in years, according to Peace Now, an Israeli settlement watchdog. That has been accompanied by a campaign of brazen attacks by Jewish extremists on Palestinian communities. On Wednesday, Jordan\u2019s foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, cited a \u201ccompletely inhumane reality that the Israeli aggression has created in Gaza.\u201d He also accused Israel of taking \u201cillegal measures that continue to undermine the two-state solution and kill all prospects for peace in the region.\u201dThe Israeli military official said the new operation will also expand humanitarian aid in southern Gaza, where displaced people are being told to move. That will include opening new aid distribution sites, ensuring there is no fighting near them and opening new routes for trucks to safely bring in more supplies.Reporting was contributed by Aaron Boxerman, Gabby Sobelman, Natan Odenheimer, Johnathan Reiss, Adam Rasgon and Abu Bakr Bashir.A correction was made on\u00a0Aug. 20, 2025:\u00a0An earlier version of this article misspelled the surname of an Israeli analyst and former military intelligence officer.
