Netanyahu: Decision made for full occupation of Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Monday that a decision has been made to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, including military operations in areas where hostages are believed to be being held.

"We are committed to liberating Gaza from the tyranny of these terrorists. Many Gazans come to us and say, 'Help us liberate ourselves. Help us liberate ourselves from Hamas,' and that is what we will do," Netanyahu said in a video address posted on 'X'.

The Prime Minister's Office also said in a message to the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir: "If this does not suit you, then you should resign."

Netanyahu's announcement comes after months of faltering talks in Qatar between Israel and Hamas, as mediators try to overcome obstacles from both sides and reach a ceasefire and a deal to release hostages, as the humanitarian situation in the Strip worsens./CNA
