Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will continue its military operations in Gaza until Hamas' military capabilities are destroyed, its rule in Gaza is ended, and all hostages are brought home. Netanyahu emphasized this stance during his address to the US Congress, stating that Israel will not settle for anything less.
Netanyahu outlined his vision for a post-war Gaza, envisioning a demilitarized and de-radicalized region. He clarified that while Israel does not aim to resettle Gaza, it is imperative to maintain significant security control to prevent the resurgence of terrorism and ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel in the future.
