Netanyahu Says Israel 'Not Retreating' During Gaza Visit
Netanyahu said Israel will keep operating against Hamas until the group is disarmed, despite mediators pushing a ceasefire withdrawal plan.
- On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Gaza for the first time since the ceasefire, declaring near the Yellow Line, "We control 60% of the Strip, and we are not stopping."
- Despite a US-brokered ceasefire, Israel continues striking Gaza, with Netanyahu vowing no pullout until the Palestinian Islamist movement is "genuinely" disarmed. He stated, "We are doing everything to reach our goal – disarming Hamas and demilitarising Gaza."
- On Tuesday, Israeli forces and a Palestinian anti-Hamas militia captured Muein al-Arabid, an "officer in the internal security service," during a ground operation in Gaza City. Israeli operations have killed at least 1,334 people since the ceasefire began.
- Defence Minister Israel Katz claimed there is "no real solution" for Gaza without migration, telling a conference the government is "organised and prepared" to move Palestinians out by sea and air.
- Forced displacement of civilians in occupied territory is considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. Such plans face international condemnation, while pressure mounts to advance the US-led peace plan.
