IDF is pushing back HARD against this entire operation:

hebrew: I posted this evening on Channel 14 News:
While the inner cabinet is meeting this evening to approve plans for the occupation of Gaza City, a security source has revealed the IDF's position on the issue of the hostages.

According to the source, despite preparations for a large-scale operation, the IDF believes that there is still a window of several weeks to try to reach a deal before the military operation begins.
“If the plans are approved, there is limited time to return to the path of a deal,” the source said.

The source emphasized: “Anything that brings back the hostages alive or dead is on the table. The IDF's position is clear: every possibility for a deal must be exhausted before returning to combat.”

At the same time, the cabinet is expected to approve the ground plans to mark the decisive phase of the campaign — but recent statements reflect an attempt to leave the door open for a political solution that will bring back the hostages before terrorism in Gaza is defeated.
