Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that the war on Gaza will not cease until Hamas is defeated, going against the US-proposed ceasefire plan for the strip. US officials have insisted that Israel was the one who had drafted the plan, but Netanyahu’s statement indicates a different direction. The ongoing conflict in Gaza has already resulted in numerous casualties and destruction, and Netanyahu’s decision to continue the offensive is likely to prolong the suffering of the Palestinian people. The international community continues to call for an end to the violence and for both sides to engage in meaningful dialogue to achieve a lasting peace.
