Invading Gaza City is the best way to end war, says Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to expand military actions in Gaza, claiming it's the best way to end the war and defeat Hamas. He aims to establish safe zones for civilians while denying any starvation policy, insisting they receive aid. Netanyahu stated, “The only ones being deliberately starved are the hostages.” He criticized international media for alleged misinformation and asserted Israel's role in future Gaza governance, excluding Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.

Several nations, including Britain and France, warned that Israel's plans might violate international humanitarian law, calling for the immediate release of hostages and a central role for the Palestinian Authority in governance.
