As Gaza starves, Israel fights on
IN A LONG-TERM planning session on July 21st Lieutenant-General Eyal Zamir, the head of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), told his fellow generals that 2026 would be a year of 'preparedness, realising achievements, returning to competency and fundamentals'. In the meeting, the largest since the war in Gaza began nearly 22 months ago, he said the army should be preparing for another war with Iran. General Zamir's message was not intended just for the officers in the room. He was telling the government and the Israeli public that the IDF's top brass did not think the Gaza war should continue.

Israeli army chief sees 'potential' for a hostage deal
Israel's Chief of General Staff Eyal Zamir believes a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip war and an agreement to release hostages held by Hamas are increasingly possible. "Your achievements in the field as part of Operation Gideon's Chariots are advancing Hamas' defeat and creating the potential for a hostage deal," Zamir said on Sunday during a visit to troops in the Gaza Strip, according to military sources. In indirect negotiations in Qatar, Israel and Hamas have been struggling for months to reach compromises that would enable a 60-day ceasefire and the release of hostages. ⭕️Operational Update: IDF Activity in Gaza❌ Eliminated: Bashar Thabet, a commander in Hamas' Development and Projects Department within its weapons production HQ. He was responsible for research & development within Hamas' weapons manufacturing apparatus, which operates to…— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) July 20, 2025 Diplomats from Qatar, Egypt and the United States are acting as mediators. Israeli media recently reported progress but a breakthrough does not yet appear to be in sight. Zamir said that the army command was prepared for all scenarios. "We will implement new operational formats that will amplify our strengths, reduce vulnerabilities and deepen operational gains," he explained, without elaborating on those strategic options. The scenarios would be presented to the political leadership for a decision, he added. According to Israeli estimates, 50 people abducted from Israel are still being held in the Gaza Strip, at least 20 of whom are believed to be alive. Their release - in return for the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails - is to be staggered according to the plans. During the temporary ceasefire, the parties to the conflict will then negotiate an end to the war in the Gaza Strip and the release of the last hostages. with Reuters
