President Biden has called for an end to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, as a recent CIA assessment reveals that Hamas has been instigating violence to escalate the situation into a full-blown war. Despite U.S. pressure for a post-war plan in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to resist such demands. The CIA report, dated June 3rd, sheds light on Netanyahu's strategy, indicating that he aims to maintain support from both his top security officials and far-right government members by discussing the future of Gaza in vague terms.
Meanwhile, Israel's military conducted airstrikes on a United Nations school in northern Gaza, resulting in the deaths of three individuals who were seeking shelter at the facility. The Israeli military claims to have targeted a storage container inside the school that was allegedly being used by Hamas. This incident follows another airstrike on a U.N. school in central Gaza the previous day, which claimed the lives of at least 40 people.
