The frame is set by two movements that proceed together: an accelerated timetable for force and a long-term decision about land. The first narrows time in Gaza City; the second redraws the map east of Jerusalem.

The center of gravity has moved from stopping fire to designing an end state. What was framed as a ceasefire-first path now runs the other way: a “comprehensive” settlement first, a ceasefire after. That procedural inversion matters because it resets who holds leverage when it can be used, and what must be priced in before guns go quiet.
