It will take control of “its entire region”, the Israeli prime minister said today amid “large -scale in land operations” by the Israeli army in the north and southern part of the Palestinian enclave.
“The battles are intense and we are moving forward. We will take control of the entire lane area »Netanyahu said in a video he posted on his Telegram account.
“We will not retreat. But in order to succeed we have to act in such a way that they can’t stop us »he added.
At the same time, Netanyahu explained that Israel would have to block the famine of Gaza “for diplomatic reasons”, a few hours after its office announced that the “basic amount of food for the population” of the Palestinian enclave would be allowed.
“We should not let the population sink into the famine for practical reasons and for diplomatic reasons.”the Israeli prime minister noted in this video. He also clarified that Israel’s “friends” told him that they could not continue to support the continuation of the war if “massive images of mass starvation” were transmitted to the Gaza Strip.
“Senators who know that they support Israel (…) came and told me ‘we will give you all the help you need to win the war (…) but we cannot take pictures (from Gaza)” “the Israeli prime minister stressed.
“In order to finish our victory, to beat Hamas and release the hostages, we cannot reach the point of starvation.”he continued by responding to his criticism of his decision to enter some humanitarian aid to Gaza, for the first time on March 2, including far-right personalities such as Interior Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
