- Netanyahu defends the military operation in Gaza, disregarding international criticism.
- The UN warns of a possible catastrophe due to the plan from Israel.
- HAMAS announces a refusal to cease hostilities until an independent state is created.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defends his plan to capture Gaza, ignoring the growing international criticism. He stated that the goal of this plan is to eliminate the remnants of HAMAS and ensure security for Israel.
At a press conference on September 10, 2025, Netanyahu asserted that the operation is the quickest way to end the war. "This is the best way to quickly end the war," he stated, rejecting accusations of causing famine in Gaza, which are expressed by international organizations.
In response to his statement, the United Nations warned of a possible "catastrophe" in Gaza, should the plan be implemented. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Russia, and China also expressed their concerns, emphasizing that this could lead to new violations of international law.
Netanyahu emphasized that the goal is not occupation, but rather the establishment of safe zones for civilians. He also discussed these plans with U.S. President Donald Trump, who supported Israel's actions.
At the same time, HAMAS stated that it will continue the struggle until an independent Palestinian state is created. Previously, Israeli forces attacked five journalists from Al Jazeera, which provoked outrage among international observers.
