Addressing increasingly concerned international audiences, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the struggle in Gaza will not cease until the “destruction” of Hamas’s authority to manage the enclave and mobilize for a fight. This statement follows after US President Joe Biden was pointing that Israel was developing a new track to peace.
The current Prime Minister stated his office: “The prime minister ratified the speaking mandate for the negotiation team to present a plan on how the hostages can be regained… The PM is firm that the war cannot end without the goals of recovering all hostages” and the dismantling of the helm of Hamas.
The statement went on to say that ” the specific breakdown suggested here, together with the conditional transition from stage to stage, enables Israel to sustain these principles.
President Biden stated that the plan was launched within six weeks in his first thorough speech on the issue. Within that period, Israeli forces should pull out from all areas of Gaza inhabited by people. As Biden said, this mentality MUST end; the day after has to come, and this is the time to make it.
The war in Gaza started with a Hamas raid on the south of Israel on 7th October, and the conflict killed 1,189 individuals, the majority of whom were non-combatants when using an AFP tally counting according to the Israeli authorities. Militants also captured 252 hostages, which currently are in Gaza, out of which 37, according to the army, are dead.
The ensuing Israeli operation to subdue Hamas has cost the lives of at least 6,362 Palestinians in Gaza, inclusive of women and children, by the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry.
The intensity of war increases as the parties involved search for a political solution in a bid as global politics in anticipation of an outcome that could end the conflict to restore peace in the region.
