Chances are high that Israel re-occupy the Gaza strip as it has no plan to stop military operations. Israeli intelligence minister Yuval Steinitz announced the news after the Israeli diplomatic-security cabinet unanimously approved an expansion of ground invasions in the Gaza Strip. He claimed the decision has been made on the assessments that Hamas is not ready for a ceasefire. The Israeli minister added that Tel Aviv is in no rush to bring to an end the current offensive on the besieged territories. Earier Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon had said Tel Aviv will press ahead with Operation Protective Edge and retaliate Hamas operations as harshly as possible.
