Netanyahu says war will continue until all parts of Gaza under Israeli control
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the war in Gaza will continue until full Israeli control of the territory, while stating only 20 of 58 Hamas-held hostages are believed alive. Aid distribution in Gaza remains stalled despite 100 trucks of supplies crossing into the region, as global experts warn of an imminent famine and hospitals face collapse under intensified military operations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during a press conference that only 20 of the 58 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza are believed alive. He reaffirmed that Israel will maintain military operations until the entire Gaza Strip comes under Israeli security control. Netanyahu also emphasized plans for private US companies to manage aid deliveries, dismissing concerns about an existing humanitarian crisis despite warnings from aid agencies and governments. The World Food Programme confirmed that aid supplies are moving through the Kerem Shalom crossing but have not yet been distributed to Gazans. Israel’s military reported that 100 trucks carrying flour, baby food, and medical equipment entered Gaza. Meanwhile, Palestinians protested in southern Gaza for a third consecutive day against Hamas, while the Israeli military issued new evacuation orders for northern Gaza residents, threatening strikes against areas launching rockets. The World Health Organization warned that escalating ground operations and evacuation demands are overwhelming Gaza’s health system. Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza was disabled by Israeli attacks, according to the humanitarian group MedGlobal. Global experts continue to warn of an imminent famine in the territory, as aid distribution remains delayed. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum urged Netanyahu to negotiate an immediate agreement to release all hostages and end the war. The situation remains critical, with humanitarian conditions deteriorating amid ongoing military actions.
