On August 30, the Israeli N12 news channel reported:
Netanyahu is ready to end the Gaza war: he hopes to participate in the next election while ending the war and achieving some diplomatic achievements. Political sources estimate that the next election will be held in the first half of 2026.
Another factor is that Trump is increasingly hoping for the end of the war. He still supports Israel's offensive in Gaza, but wants it to end as soon as possible.
However, the planned military operation will not end soon: IDF Chief Zami has clearly stated that this will be a long and slow operation.
For all these reasons, Netanyahu may hope to end the war through a strong but limited military operation, giving the impression that Hamas has surrendered.
The bottom line is: a full occupation of Gaza is still impossible, more of an empty threat than a feasible plan.
