U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged Israel to develop a post-war plan for Gaza as soon as possible to avoid chaos. This comes after Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi stated that military operations in Gaza are expected to continue through the end of the year, potentially extending into 2025. The prolonged conflict, anticipated to last another seven months, raises concerns about the fate of hostages held by Hamas, with U.S. officials warning that waiting for the war to end could endanger their lives. Israeli officials have indicated that there will be no truce without a deal to return the hostages, leading to accusations from families that the government, led by Prime Minister Netanyahu, is prioritizing the destruction of Hamas over the safe return of their relatives. The conflict, which has been ongoing since October, shows no signs of abating, with Israeli forces intensifying their offensive in the border city of Rafah and seizing Gaza's entire border with Egypt.
