In addition to the destruction of \u2064Hamas, Israel aims to reduce the size of Gaza, \u200dsignaling a notable shift in their \u2064approach. This statement has \u200cgenerated speculation among analysts that Israel\u200d may even consider annexing \u200dparts of Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Cohen emphasized that at the \u2062end of this war, \u2064not only will Hamas no longer be present in Gaza, but the\u200c territory itself will also decrease.
