Despite the growing calls by Israel’s European allies to end the war, Netanyahu implied that he would not change course
Israeli Prime Minister Beniamin Netanyahu appeared inappropriate, who, confirming the escalation of businesses in Gaza, rejected international calls for a ceasefire and defended a strategy that is strongly under fire.
From the announcement of the new, large -scale landfill in Gaza, the question that arises is why Netanyahu chooses the escalation of the war, risking to lose support of his allies and provoking chain reactions.
In his profession, Netanyahu fully clarified his war goals that are no other than the full occupation of Gaza, stating that the operation called “Gideon’s tanks” aims to “complete the war, to finish work”.
Netanyahu reiterated his position that the entire Gaza Strip would be put under Israeli security checking at the end of the war.
Among the questions arising about his legal and political problems inside, Netanyahu said he ordered the Ministry of Defense to “open a new phase” of the war in Gaza and to achieve “huge blows” that will gradually eliminate “the latest prist”.
“All hostages to come back, Hamas to deposit weapons, to leave power, its leadership to be exiled from Gaza … The area is completely demilitated and implementing the Trump plan. A right and revolutionary plan, ”Netanyahu said.
This is the first time that US President Donald Trump’s plan to move Palestinian civilians outside Gaza’s lane has been officially promoted as Israel’s requirement to end the war, sparking serious reactions internationally.
This report reinforces the concerns that Tel Aviv is geared towards a solution of “forced displacement”, which is directly conflicting with international law and the positions of the majority of the international community.
Despite growing calls by Israeli European allies to end the war, inviting him to face the dramatic humanitarian situation in Gaza, Netanyahu implied that he would not change course as he enjoys the support of the United States.
It is noted that on Monday night, Britain signed with France and Canada a joint statement condemning Israeli military actions and warns of “further specific measures” if the humanitarian situation in Gaza does not improve.
Referring to his controversial plan to provide assist in Gaza – which bypasses the existing UN structures and facilities – Netanyahu described it as “another tool to win the war”. The plan has been criticized internationally, among other things by the United Nations, as an attempt to use humanitarian aid as a “weapon”.
Netanyahu criticized the rigorous statements by the British government, saying: “It is a shame that Britain, instead of imposing sanctions on Hamas, imposes sanctions on a woman, referring to the head of Daniela Weissa.” In addition, he accused Britain and other countries of “bowing to the pressures of Muslim minorities” inside.
Inside, Netanyahu has been strongly criticized because he seems to prioritize Hamas’ defeat over the return of the rest of the hostages. However, he insisted that he was making “great efforts”, insisting that “we cannot take them back without military means”.
Recent polls show that the number of Israelis supporting a ceasefire is increasing, even if it requires an agreement with Hamas. The fact shows that they do not believe that the Israeli Prime Minister’s war targets are in line with hostage security, nor with the exhausted Israeli economy and the affected international image of the country.
Among other things, the Israeli prime minister said Mohammed Sinuar, the younger brother of Hamas leader in Gaza, Yachia Sinuar, was killed “probably” in an Israeli air raid earlier this month.
During his interview, Netanyahu left open the possibility of a temporary ceasefire and an agreement on the release of hostages, provided that there is such a possibility. However, remaining unmoved, he once again said that “Israel is ready to end the war under clear terms that will ensure its safety”,.
According to him, about 20 of the hostages abducted in Hamas’ attacks on October 7, 2023 are still considered alive, and up to 30 are estimated to have been killed.
Netanyahu’s statements come amid growing international pressure. On Monday night, Britain signed with France and Canada a joint statement condemning Israeli military actions and warns of “further specific measures” if the humanitarian situation in Gaza does not improve.
