🇮🇱 Netanyahu’s Stance
In a recent statement, Netanyahu emphasized that there would be “no situation where we stop the war,” even if Hamas offers to release additional hostages. He mentioned that while temporary ceasefires might occur to facilitate hostage releases, the overarching goal remains the total dismantling of Hamas’s capabilities. (Xinhua News)
🕊️ Humanitarian Concerns
The planned offensive has raised significant humanitarian concerns. Recent Israeli airstrikes have resulted in numerous civilian casualties, including women and children. The Gaza Health Ministry reports that 90% of residents face severe water insecurity, and over 1.1 million people lack basic nutrition. (The Guardian, The Times)
🌍 International Reactions
International leaders have expressed alarm over the escalating situation. French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza as “shameful,” prompting Netanyahu to accuse Macron of siding with Hamas. (The Times, reuters.com)
🗺️ Post-War Plans
Netanyahu’s government is reportedly exploring options for the “voluntary emigration” of Palestinians from Gaza, seeking countries willing to accept them. A dedicated agency may be established to facilitate this process. (AP News)
