Israel issued one of the most extensive evacuation orders for Gaza civilians not seen in the war.

Large areas of Gaza City have been destroyed by bombs, and the area has been declared unsafe, with residents living there being told to leave the “radious strike” before the IDF.

Israel highlighted buildings include the Islamic University, the al-Shifa Hospital and the three former schools.

Israel claims Hamas uses the buildings as "command and control centers", but local authorities and aid agencies say there are thousands of civilians living there.

They said it would take time to evacuate these areas and could result in a large number of casualties.

This is an ominous sign of Israel's threat to greatly expand its threat to military movement in Gaza.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has been one of the few top Israelis in Israel to date, opposing the expansion of military movements in Gaza.

"Most Israelis opposed what is going on, a large number of (army) commanders opposed to expanding military operations and hoped to end the war immediately," Olmert said in an interview with the BBC.

Olmert, a frequent and growing critic of Israel’s current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose views reflect an increasing focus on the impact of the 20-month war on the country’s morale, economy and international status.

Olmert also spoke out in his humanitarian impact on Gaza’s residents.

"It's totally intolerable, unacceptable and unforgivable and needs to be stopped immediately," the former senior official said.

He added: "We must provide all humanitarian needs of the population. We cannot morally allow the famine in Gaza. This must stop."

This view is rarely reflected in Israeli media or public opinion polls, but in recent days, UN organizations, aid agencies and certain allies abroad (French President Emmanuel Macron said that they have all repeated these views in their enthusiastic speeches during Israel's actions in Gaza. Netanyahu accused him of "standing with Hamas."

There is growing evidence that the entire Gaza suffered severe pain after a 10-week lockdown, during which Israel blocked any food, medicine or fuel from entering the Palestinian enclave.

An unsupported assessment says the population of about 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza has a "risk risk" of "famine and faces" and "food insecurity levels". The World Health Organization says that without adequate nutritional food, clean water and access to health care, the entire generation will be permanently affected.

Israeli government spokesman David Mencer insisted to tell the BBC that "Israel certainly will not starve Gaza to death."

He said: "I don't question the hunger in Gaza, but we think it's caused by Hamas. Gaza has food, and that's our message. There's no famine."

Israel also resumed aerial bombings on Gaza on March 18, which caused 2,799 attacks, including 80 on Wednesday, according to the Hamas-Operation Health Ministry.

With a faint hope, Israel and Hamas can still accept the U.S. renewed ceasefire proposal we sponsored. It will reportedly see the remaining hostages released in exchange for an unspecified period of peace.

However, Netanyahu said Israel will expand its military offensive in Gaza and there is nothing to stop the war. Meanwhile, Hamas refused to release the remaining hostages unless Israel agreed to a permanent ceasefire and withdraw from Gaza.

On Wednesday night, 67 former hostages signed a letter urging Netanyahu to reach a "full deal" to return all prisoners Hamas is still holding.

The letter said: "Most people in Israeli society want hostages to go home, even at the cost of stopping military operations."

The Hostages and Missing Family Forum said the letter was written after Edan Alexander's release and was built on "historical momentum." Hamas said it freed the 21-year-old's gesture of kindness as Donald Trump who visited the region.

The letter from the former limiter called on Trump not to "let this historic momentum stop."

A poll on Israel Channel 12 in late April showed that 68% of respondents supported signing a hostage agreement with Hamas, even if that meant an end to the war, while only 22% supported continuing the fight in Gaza.

So far, Netanyahu is still impossible.

"Despite the determination of the United States, the Prime Minister's position has not changed - we will not end the war," according to diplomatic sources.

Israel launched a military campaign to destroy Hamas in response to the unprecedented cross-border attack on October 7, 2023, with about 1,200 people killed and another 251 were taken hostage.

The Ministry of Health said at least 52,928 people have been killed in Gaza since then.
