By ~~late August~~ mid-September 2026, the conflict in Gaza intensified alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political and diplomatic position deteriorated further. Netanyahu officially rejected the 15-point ‘Board of Peace’ framework, stating Israel would not adhere to a ceasefire or withdraw military forces from Gaza. This stance was reinforced by maneuvering. Israeli ~~army leadership, which established red lines~~ military strikes in Jabalia, Rafah, Sheikh Radwan, and Mawasi resulted in further casualties, including ~~maintaining complete operational freedom~~ children and ~~refusing withdrawal unless~~ high-ranking Hamas ~~is entirely disarmed.

This proposed strategy aims to involve simultaneous operations from Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq to overwhelm Israeli defenses.
