Israel said on April 12 that it planned to expand its military offensive in Gaza after seizing a new corridor as part of a broader effort to take large parts of the war-battered Palestinian territory. The previous truce with the Palestinian Hamas movement brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar which took effect on January 19 collapsed on March 18 as Israel resumed intense strikes on Gaza.
