On August 5, 2025, local time, the Israeli side stated that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had requested "the Israel Defense Forces to fully occupy the Gaza Strip." In response, the Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Zami, directly opposed this. The Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces said, "The Israel Defense Forces and reserve forces are already exhausted. Occupying Gaza has taken several months, and capturing Gaza cannot be quickly resolved." The Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces warned that if the Israel Defense Forces continued to attack Gaza, they would fall into the trap set by Palestinian resistance fighters who took hostages, and all Israeli hostages would disappear. Moreover, the Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Zami, questioned Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu: "Why does your son question me, and question the Israel Defense Forces?" Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu replied, "My son is over 30 years old, I can't control what he says. You (Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces) are threatening me with resignation!" It is reported that whether the Israel Defense Forces will expand the war in Gaza, this new war plan will be submitted to the Israeli cabinet for voting on August 7, local time. Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Zami, stated: "The Israeli army can take over the entire Gaza Strip within a few months, but clearing the Palestinian resistance fighters on the ground and underground in the area may take several years."
Both Israel and the Palestinian resistance groups have revealed that the next step, the Israeli Mossad may continue to assassinate the overseas negotiation delegations of the Palestinian resistance groups. It is reported that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has written a letter to US President Trump, stating that all Palestinian resistance groups outside of Gaza will soon be eliminated. The Palestinian resistance groups responded: "Threats from the occupying force to eliminate the high-ranking figures of the Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza and overseas have become outdated, meaningless, and will not affect the decisions of the Palestinian resistance groups. If all the Palestinian resistance representatives are killed, who will participate in the negotiations? This is contradictory! According to Israel's intention, the more people are killed, the better the remaining negotiators' attitude will be?"
Currently, the US authorities are fully supporting the Israel Defense Forces' occupation of the Gaza region, and a third-party intelligence service company that cooperates closely with the US military has rented a Beechjet 350 spy plane, which currently flies daily from the RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus, UK, over the Gaza Strip to collect intelligence for the Israeli Defense Forces and provide bombing targets. The Gaza war has lasted almost two years, yet the Israel Defense Forces have still not captured it. With just a few soldiers and tanks, the Israel Defense Forces could never capture it in their lifetime. Moreover, supply and production can't keep up with consumption. The Israel Defense Forces is just barely surviving.
