Israel-Gaza Conflict: Netanyahu Declares Full Control Over Gaza by Campaign's End

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlines military objectives and humanitarian aid developments amid escalating violence.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that all territories of the Gaza Strip will be under Israeli security control by the end of the ongoing military offensive, dubbed Operation Gideon's Chariots.

Speaking at a press conference, Netanyahu emphasized that Israeli forces are prepared for a temporary ceasefire and potential hostage release, but asserted that military action would continue unabated.

Key details from the recent developments in the conflict include:


Increased Casualties: A new wave of Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling killed at least 82 individuals in Gaza on Wednesday, reported the health ministry in Gaza.

The latest strikes prominently affected the Daraj neighborhood and targeted residential areas east of Jabalia, resulting in significant civilian casualties, including several women and a week-old infant.

Hamas Leadership Targeted: Netanyahu claimed that Israeli military operations had likely killed Mohammed Sinwar, the Hamas leader's brother.

This follows the reported death of Yahya Sinwar, an architect of the recent conflict, earlier in the military campaign.

Netanyahu stated that Israel has made considerable progress in its goal to dismantle Hamas while asserting that the mission is not complete.

Diplomatic Incidents: The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, condemned Israeli forces for firing warning shots at a diplomatic delegation made up of representatives from 31 countries, including Italy, Canada, and the UK, visiting Jenin in the West Bank.

This incident drew widespread condemnation from various nations, prompting nations such as France and the Netherlands to summon the Israeli ambassadors for explanations.

Humanitarian Aid Concerns: After an 11-week blockade, Israel stated it began allowing limited humanitarian aid into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing.

However, UN officials reported that no aid has been distributed due to insecure access conditions preventing trucks from moving beyond loading areas.

While some aid trucks have entered Gaza, reports indicate that the supplies have yet to reach those in need, exacerbating humanitarian conditions for the area's population of approximately 2.4 million.

International Reaction: The UK government announced a commitment of £4 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza while facing domestic pressure to confront Israeli military actions and humanitarian practices in the region.

Countries such as Ireland and France have also considered actions to respond to the situation, with calls for enhanced humanitarian access and changes in diplomatic relations with Israel.

The current military operations and their humanitarian implications continue to incite significant international dialogue, with officials expressing concern over potential war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law amidst the ongoing conflict.
