Israel Calls Up Thousands of Reservists, Plans to Expand Gaza Offensive amid Stalled Hostage Talks
(CNN) Dana Karni and Mohammed Tawfeeq - 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 Hamas to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz. Netanyahu's Security Cabinet was expected to approve the plan Sunday.
