Netanyahu Defends New Offensive
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 11 – Netanyahu says the expanded offensive aims to dismantle Hamas strongholds and secure hostage releases amid ongoing war, with over 61,000 Palestinians killed since October 2023, according to Gaza officials.
- On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he expects a new Gaza offensive to begin fairly quickly, though the start date remains unclear.
- Justifying the operation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had no choice but to ‘complete the job’ after the security cabinet approved control of Gaza City, aiming to tackle two remaining Hamas strongholds.
- Amid the planned offensive, Gaza faces severe displacement with at least 1.9 million people—about 90 per cent of the population—displaced, and widespread malnutrition due to aid restrictions, according to the United Nations and international aid agencies.
- Hostages’ relatives have urged a labor strike next week over Netanyahu’s plans to expand military operations, opposing the looming Gaza offensive.
- Amid growing international criticism, Denmark, France, Greece, Slovenia and the United Kingdom warned that expanding military operations would worsen Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.
