Israel's defense minister has presented the cabinet with a document outlining options for military action in Gaza and tensions with Iran. The document, called the “strategic crossroads,” has previously been seen by only a few senior policymakers, including the prime minister.

According to Galant, the deal could help stabilize the situation on the border, prevent a regional war and soften Iran's intentions. However, rejecting it increases the risk of escalation of the conflict. Discussion of the document in the cabinet could influence decision-making, especially if negotiations with Hamas are successful.
