Netanyahu says no Israeli pullout from Gaza until ‘total victory’ achieved

by

Hamas is considering a new ceasefire proposal in the war with Israel in Gaza, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his forces will not withdraw until they achieve “total victory.” Israeli commandos disguised as medical workers and Muslim women killed three Palestinian militants in an undercover raid on a hospital in the occupied West Bank. Clashes between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters in Gaza have forced more Palestinian residents to flee to safer areas. The ceasefire proposal followed talks in Paris involving CIA Director William Burns, Qatar’s prime minister, the chief of Israel’s Mossad intelligence service, and the head of Egyptian intelligence. Netanyahu said Israel will not compromise on anything less than total victory, which means eliminating Hamas, returning all hostages, and ensuring that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel. The raid on the hospital in the West Bank could fuel more intense unrest in the area. The war has created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with much of the area flattened and supplies of food, water, and medicine almost exhausted.
