Gaza War Update - Israeli PM announces nearing end of intense Gaza conflict phase, spotlighting efforts for peace and regional imp...
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that"intense" fighting against Hamas fighters in the southern Gaza city of Rafah is nearly over, more than eight months into the devastating war."The intense phase of the fighting against Hamas is about to end," Netanyahu told Israel's Channel 14 network, without providing a clear timeline.
Netanyahu's interview -- his first with Israeli media since the war began with Hamas's October 7 attack -- was broadcast as his defence minister arrived in Washington for talks on the Gaza war and surging cross-border tensions with Lebanon's Hezbollah movement. Netanyahu has accused Israel's close ally and biggest military supplier of freezing some arms and ammunition deliveries during the war, which US officials have strongly rejected.
Similar proposals Netanyahu had presented to his ministers in February were swiftly rejected by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, and prompted US warnings against the"Israeli reoccupation of Gaza". The October 7 attack on southern Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,194 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures.Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 37,598 people, also mostly civilians, Gaza's health ministry said.
