Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it crystal clear: the war against Hamas is far from over, despite the proposed 60-day ceasefire currently under consideration. In closed-door meetings, Netanyahu unveiled a plan to separate the civilian population of southern Gaza from Hamas, keeping them confined to the southern part of the strip, while the conflict rages on at full force. He emphasized that until now, his focus was on Iran, but now the military is following his orders, meaning the fighting will not stop. National Security Advisor Itamar Ben Gvir and others have warned they will withdraw support from the government if any agreement is reached that ends the war while Hamas still controls Gaza.
The situation is tense, the war continues, and a siege of northern Gaza is looming. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that at least 90 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours. This escalation comes as the European Union considers severing agreements with Israel due to the ongoing war.
Netanyahu also stated that fighting Hamas and freeing hostages are not mutually exclusive goals, and he will not give up the fight to free the hostages. This statement came after Hamas rejected a proposal to return half of the remaining live hostages, demanding an end to the war and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
All in all, it looks like we are in for a long and bloody chapter in this conflict, with the world watching every development anxiously. If you think this is the end, think again — the war goes on, and Netanyahu is ready to go all the way. So, what do you think? Is this just the beginning or the end?
