More post-war Gaza redevelopment, reconstruction plans. Much better done than the earlier cheesy YT video. But just as unlikely. But still holding hope that I can afford a condo in the "smart city" by the sea.

BBC reports below. Sounds like the ground offensive is starting

Israeli reservists report for duty ahead of Gaza City offensive

Ground forces are already pushing into the outskirts of Gaza's largest urban area, which the military has said is a stronghold of Hamas.

The city is also coming under heavy Israeli aerial and artillery bombardment, with local hospitals saying that more than 50 Palestinians have been killed there since midnight.
Looks like Bibi is all-in now, regardless of the safety of the remaining hostages.

The IDF's Chief of Staff, Lt Gen Eyal Zamir, has urged Netanyahu to accept a current proposal from regional mediators that would see about half of them released during a 60-day truce. However, the prime minister has said Israel will only accept a comprehensive deal that would see all the hostages freed and Hamas disarmed.

There were reportedly angry exchanges between Zamir and ministers at a meeting on Sunday.
