Israeli officials have signaled that renewed large-scale ground operations in Gaza remain likely amid a fraying ceasefire, citing Hamas's refusal to disarm and the International Stabilization Force's limited effectiveness. In the past week, Israeli forces continued incremental advances that have brought control over roughly 59 percent of the territory, while conducting targeted airstrikes including one on May 16 that eliminated a senior Hamas military commander in Gaza City. Diplomatic efforts tied to U.S. proposals have stalled, prompting the closure of the Civil-Military Coordination Center. These developments sustain trader focus on whether current ground activity escalates into a full offensive before any resolution deadline.
