43% : But since the ceasefire, Israel has moved further into Gaza and expanded its control to up to 70 percent of the strip.
42% : Israel says its strikes over the weekend targeted Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups in several different areas of the small strip.
42% : Many Israelis are still worried about the threat Hamas poses, and concerned that the international forces the Board of Peace says will be deployed in Gaza won't be as effective at protecting Israel as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops have been, he said.
38% : But Israel stayed quiet on the plan, many of its senior officials skeptical that Hamas and other militant groups embedded in Gaza, while far less powerful than they used to be, would finally consent to disarm.
36% : Israel has refused to withdraw to the Yellow Line for now, Israel Hayom reported on Monday.
35% : But after the announcement, Israel then launched fresh attacks across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 18 people on Sunday alone, according to medics in the territory, and dampening hopes of an end to the gruesome conflict.
34% : When U.S. President Donald Trump said his Board of Peace officials clinched a "historic" deal for Palestinian militant group Hamas to completely shed their weapons last week, and for Israel to pull back its forces in Gaza, he cast the agreement as a major step toward peace.
33% : High up in the plan published by the Board of Peace shortly after Trump's proclamation, Israel was urged to stop its military operations in Gaza "without delay."

31% : Israel has been accused of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, which it has vehemently denied.
27% : "For those reasons, Netanyahu is putting his foot to the pedal against Hamas in Gaza, cognizant that Israel could find its hands tied once the Trump plan goes into effect," Lipner said.
19% : Israel attacked Gaza in response to the Hamas-led October 7 attacks in 2023, which killed roughly 1,200 people in Israel.
