Israel calls up thousands of reservists, plans to expand Gaza offensive amid stalled hostage talks

"Israel’s military will mobilize thousands of reservists in the coming days, it said Saturday, in

what appears to be an expansion of its offensive in Gaza as talks aimed at securing a ceasefire languish.
The call-up follows reports that the Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir on Friday presented a plan to intensify pressure on Palestinian militant group Hamas to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz." ms
