GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 8 – Hamas claims Netanyahu favors political aims over hostage safety as about 50 captives remain, with 20 believed alive, heightening tensions amid Gaza control plans.
- Thursday’s plan to take control of Gaza City led Hamas to accuse Netanyahu of prioritizing military action over hostage negotiations.

- Future obligations could arise as Gen. Eyal Zamir warned a full-scale takeover might force Israel to provide food, water, and civil services for Gaza’s two million residents, under international law.
