Israeli Cabinet May Order Complete Gaza Takeover
Israel's cabinet could authorise on Tuesday a complete military takeover of Gaza for the first time in two decades, media reported, despite international pressure for a ceasefire to ease appalling conditions in the besieged Palestinian territory. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is leaning towards an expanded offensive and taking control of the entire enclave after 22 months of war against militant group Hamas, Israeli Channel 12 reported. A senior Israeli source told Reuters on Monday that more force was an option following the collapse of indirect ceasefire talks with Hamas. Seizing the entire territory would reverse a 2005 decision by Israel to pull settlers and military out of Gaza while retaining control over its borders - a move right-wing parties blame for Hamas gaining power there. It was unclear, however, whether a potential full takeover of Gaza would entail a prolonged occupation or a short-term operation aimed at dismantling Hamas and freeing hostages. Israel's coalition government is regarded as one of the most right-wing in its history, with the cabinet including parties that seek to annex both Gaza and the West Bank and encourage Palestinians to leave their homeland. The country's military has throughout the war pushed back against the idea of Israel trying to fully occupy Gaza and establish military rule there, which would require it to take over long-term governance. The military has also struggled with manpower issues as the war has dragged on, with reservists being repeatedly called up and putting a strain on capabilities. The conflict was triggered by a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, when gunmen stormed the border from Gaza, killing more than 1,200 people and seizing around 250 hostages according to Israeli tallies. Israel's military campaign has devastated the tiny, crowded enclave, killing more than 60,000 people according to Palestinian health authorities. It has forced nearly all of Gaza's over 2 million people from their homes and caused what a global hunger monitor called last week an unfolding famine. That has caused widespread international anger and prompted several European countries to say they would recognise a Palestinian state next month if there was no ceasefire. Inside Gaza on Tuesday, Israeli gunfire and strikes killed at least 13 Palestinians, local health authorities said, including five people in a tent in Khan Younis and three aid seekers near Rafah in the south. Israeli tanks pushed into central Gaza earlier on Tuesday but it was not clear if the move was part of a larger ground offensive. Palestinians living in the last fifth of the territory where Israel has not yet taken military control via ground incursions or orders for civilians to leave said any new move to occupy the area would be catastrophic. "If the tanks pushed through, where would we go, into the sea? This will be like a death sentence to the entire population," said Abu Jehad, a Gaza wood merchant, who asked not to be named in full. A Palestinian official close to the talks and mediation said Israeli threats could be a way to pressure Hamas to make concessions at the negotiation table. "It will only complicate the negotiation further, at the end, the resistance factions will not accept less than an end to the war, and a full withdrawal from Gaza," he told Reuters, asking not to be named. Israel said it would allow merchants to import goods. A source in Gaza told Reuters some trucks had already entered carrying chocolates and biscuits for a merchant. It is hoped that essential items such as children's milk, fresh meat and fruits, sugar, and rice could be allowed in, which would alleviate scarcity and drive down prices of what is available in the markets. U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said last week he was working with the Israeli government on a plan that would effectively end the war in Gaza. But Israeli officials have also floated ideas including expanding the offensive and annexing parts of Gaza. The failed ceasefire talks in Doha had aimed to clinch agreements on a U.S.-backed proposal for a 60-day truce, during which aid would be flown into Gaza and half of the hostages Hamas is holding would be freed in exchange for Palestinian prisoners jailed in Israel. The Israeli military was expected on Tuesday to present alternatives that include extending into areas of Gaza where it has not yet operated, according to two defence officials.

Aoun: Stability is gateway to economic recovery
President of the Republic Joseph Aoun stressed that political and security stability is the foundation for Lebanon's economic revival, noting that efforts were underway to solidify this stability in parallel with ongoing reforms. 'Stability is the key to economic recovery,' Aoun said, adding that both enacted reforms and upcoming legislation adopted by Parliament and decisions taken by the Cabinet are part of a broader roadmap for recovery. The president voiced optimism about Lebanon's prospects, citing a rise in tourism, the return of international conferences to Beirut, and growing numbers of Arab, especially Gulf, visitors as indicators of renewed confidence. He also praised the contributions of Lebanese businesspeople at home and across the diaspora in helping stimulate the economy. The President's comments came during a meeting with a delegation from the Fourth Diaspora Economic Conference, which will open Friday at the Phoenicia Hotel with over 400 participants from 37 countries. Conference President Raouf Abou Zaki noted that the return of stability encouraged strong diaspora participation and that the event aims to foster partnerships that support job creation and economic growth. Separately, President Aoun discussed recovery strategies with former Economic and Social Council president Roger Nasnas and received Marwan Sehnaoui, head of the Sovereign Order of Malta in Lebanon, who shared updates on aid initiatives for Jezzine and southern Lebanon. The president also met with Sheikh Mohammad Ahmad Al-Awad, Mufti of the Lebanese communities in Africa, who relayed diaspora concerns—including calls for stronger diplomatic representation, better consular services, legal protection, and fair handling of expatriate bank deposits. He urged initiatives to rebuild trust and encourage diaspora investment through legal guarantees.

Bisat: Political, security clarity essential for economic recovery
Minister of Economy and Trade Amer Bisat stated on X that Lebanon's economic recovery hinges on achieving political and security clarity. 'Ending hostilities, securing the borders, curbing the informal economy, and consolidating all arms and security responsibilities under official state institutions are preconditions, without which it will be difficult to emerge from our economic crisis,' Bisat wrote. He emphasized that these measures are vital to restoring confidence, reintegrating Lebanon into the Arab economic sphere, attracting capital inflows, encouraging the return of Lebanese talent, and securing funding for reconstruction.
