The goal: full Israeli military control of Gaza.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zone Partition and Strategic Control<\/strong><br \/>\nThe plan outlines a division of Gaza into three major civilian zones, separated by militarized corridors under IDF control. The implementation would reportedly require at least three weeks, involving both civilian relocation and military infrastructure development. The four targeted areas include: Northern Gaza, up to Gaza City, south of the Netzarim corridor, The Morag Axis, and the Rafah region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase Three: Full Conquest of Gaza<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to the report, each of the three areas would be connected by military overpasses and checkpoints, with strict limits on civilian and commercial movement. One planned corridor\u2014through the Netzarim area\u2014would be narrower than the existing route reinforced with military barriers to prevent unauthorized crossings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23303\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23303\" style=\"width: 724px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23303\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/corridors-2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/corridors-2.webp 724w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/corridors-2-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Philadelphi Corridor near Rafah (Archive) | Photo: Oren Cohen\/Flash90<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Hostage Deal Still Hangs in the Balance<\/strong><br \/>\nMeanwhile, Doha-based mediators report that Hamas is considering a partial hostage release in exchange for a two-month ceasefire. The proposal under review includes: release of 10 living hostages, a written status list of the remaining hostages, and the delivery of the list on day 10 of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>However, a key obstacle remains: Israel demands the disarmament of Hamas, while Hamas categorically rejects such terms at this stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IDF Ground Forces Mobilize amid Talks<\/strong><br \/>\nIn parallel to diplomatic efforts, the IDF continues to advance troop deployments and tactical infrastructure ahead of a potential expanded ground phase of Operation Gideon\u2019s Chariots.
