Intense diplomatic background is triggered by the new Israeli attack on Gaza, as Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to go to the US to meet Donald Trump after speaking at the General Assembly, where Britain, France, Canada, Australia and Belgium have announced that they will proceed with official recognition of Palestinian state.

In particular, Netanyahu announced that the US president invited him to meet at the White House on September 29, three days after his scheduled speech at the UN General Assembly in New York.

As criticisms for Israel’s military operation in Gaza are stepping up, the Israeli prime minister said in a press conference that many of the decisions he made during the war, including his choice not to always seek the approval of allies such as the United States, Hamas holds. He rejected criticism.

Israel has launched the third new land attack on the city of Gaza, while the Palestinians speak of the fastest bombing they have faced in the two years of war.

An Israeli Armed Forces official said inland troops were being promoted deeper into the core of the city and that the number of soldiers would increase in the coming days to face up to 3,000 Hamas fighters who, according to IDF, remain in the area.

About 1 million Palestinians lived in the city of Gaza before the warnings for evacuation began in the face of the attack while The Israeli Army estimates that 350,000 people have left the city. According to the UN estimated Monday, more than 220,000 Palestinians have left northern Gaza in the last month. However, hundreds of thousands are left behind.

Thousands of Palestinians left their houses in Gaza on Tuesday morning and headed south. Displaced families used any means of transport they could find. Many, unable to pay for a vehicle, were walking. They carried what they could while many didn’t even know where they were heading.

Israeli army armored vehicles were distinguished almost all aspects of the city of Gaza in satellite images recorded on Tuesday morning, following the army’s announcement that a land attack on the city was launched overnight.

At the same time, the UN Inquiry Committee accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza. A group of independent experts set up by the UN Human Rights Council concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, according to a report released on Tuesday, calling on the international community to put an end to the genocide and to take action.

In this climate, UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres described the situation in Gaza as “morally, politically and legally unacceptable”, stressing that the world is witnessing the “systematic destruction of the city of Gaza”.

Speaking at a press conference in the United Nations in New York, he added that “we see mass murders of civilians in a way that I do not remember in any other conflict since I am Secretary -General.”

Netanyahu: Israel must develop an independent defense industry

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that if there was a lesson from the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, this is that the country must create an “independent defense industry” that can “withstand international restrictions”.

Israel wants to defend itself with its own weapons, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a press conference on Tuesday, a day after he had warned that the country should be prepared for a new economic reality, stressing that “it will need to adapt to an economy”.

Netanyahu had a press conference, a day after provoking reactions, stating that Israel, due to the Gaza war, is in danger of increasing international isolation and should become a more self -sufficient “Spartan” in the coming years. He argued, however, that the negative reaction of the markets to his statements was the result of “misunderstanding”.

He acknowledged, however, that there are efforts to isolate Israel, noting that “they are politically motivated and not economic”. “I do not ignore the attempts to limit us financially, we know it. It is likely that such efforts will be made. But people want the products produced by Israel, “he said.

He also clarified that his statements were primarily concerned with the defense industry and not the overall economy. “There is an area in which there may be restrictions, not economic, but politicians at their base, and that is the defense industry,” he explained.

“Our defense industry is explosive. It has achieved impressive results in exports, both in quantity and quality, but we have faced, and we may face political restrictions during the war again, “he said.

“And if there is a lesson we have drawn from this war, it is that we want to be in a position that we will not depend on anyone, that Israel will defend its own strengths and its own weapons. And that’s why we are seeking defensive independence, “he concluded.

At the same time, Benjamin Netanyahu announced that US President Donald Trump invited him to meet at the White House on September 29, three days after his scheduled speech at the UN General Assembly in New York.

The announcement was made by Netanyahu after information that his office had requested the meeting.

The Israeli prime minister said the invitation was made in a telephone communication Monday with the US president. He added that he has spoken several times with Trump after the Israeli blow to Hamas leaders in Qatar, describing all the “good” conversations.
