Following a 32-day unabated bombardment, airstrikes and killing of more than 10,000 Palestinians — including 4,237 children — Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday claimed that their forces are currently operating in the heart of Gaza City.
In a televised news conference, Gallant said neither Israel nor Hamas would govern the Palestinian enclave once the ongoing war is over.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel’s military was encircling Gaza City and operating inside it as it pressed on with a month-long offensive against Hamas.
In a televised statement, Netanyahu said there would be no ceasefire or fuel delivery to Gaza before Hamas released Israeli hostages and repeated a call on Palestinian civilians to move south for their own safety. “We will not stop,” Netanyahu said- Reuters
