On May 3, 2025, Israel called up thousands of reservists to reinforce forces in Gaza, the West Bank, and along the Lebanese border, following a major escalation in military operations against Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed his official trip to Azerbaijan due to heightened security and diplomatic concerns. The Israeli security cabinet approved renewed offensive measures after ceasefire negotiations stalled, with Hamas demanding a total end to the war in exchange for 59 remaining hostages. The conflict, ongoing since October 2023, has killed over 50,000 Palestinians and displaced much of Gaza’s population. (PC: CNN)
