US EditionNetanyahu Hints at Expanded War in Gaza but Former Israeli Military and Spy Chiefs Object
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 4 – Netanyahu plans to direct the Israeli Defense Forces on defeating Hamas, securing hostages, and managing humanitarian concerns amid escalating Gaza conflict with over 60,900 deaths reported, officials say.
- On Monday, Benjamin Netanyahu said he will hold a meeting of the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet to revise Israel's strategy for the Gaza conflict and provide military guidance on accomplishing the three established war objectives.
- Netanyahu's announcement follows nearly 22 months of conflict that began with Hamas's October 2023 attack, which killed 1,219 people and resulted in 251 hostages taken to the Palestinian territory.
- The government faces accusations from hostages' relatives and critics that it has not done enough to secure the captives' release amid collapsing talks and Hamas demanding aid corridors into Gaza in exchange for access.
- Netanyahu emphasized the need for unified efforts to accomplish all the goals of the conflict, including overcoming adversaries, securing the release of captives, and preventing Gaza from continuing to be a security risk, while humanitarian organizations cautioned about an emerging famine crisis within the region.
- The updated war plan and upcoming UN Security Council meeting aim to address hostage release and Gaza's humanitarian crisis, but continued military operations and deepening divisions raise doubts about resolving the conflict soon.
