Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Monday that Israel is taking a decisive step towards eradicating Palestinian military capabilities as part of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The Israeli army, which has been engaged in the siege of Gaza for 269 days, is intensifying its efforts to eliminate the Hamas army. Defense Minister Yoav Galant has requested an additional 10,000 soldiers to support these efforts. Meanwhile, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has accused Netanyahu of planning to dismiss the attorney general to resolve internal conflicts with the Haredim, prompting calls for protests and government dismissal.
The release of Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, has ignited controversy in Israeli political and military circles. Netanyahu has distanced himself from the decision and ordered an immediate investigation into the matter. During a meeting with trainees, Netanyahu praised the military achievements in Rafah and hinted at the approaching end of the intensive phase of the conflict. According to Israeli media reports, negotiations for a settlement on the northern border with Lebanon are likely to commence within the next 10 days.
Galant emphasized the importance of recruiting more soldiers, including 3,000 Haredi recruits, to bolster the army’s efforts. On the other hand, Lapid called for early elections as a solution to the current crisis.
The release of prisoners raised questions about decision-making process and accountability within Israeli government and security agencies. Abu Salmiya’s claims highlighted ongoing humanitarian issues facing Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. He accused Israel of subjecting prisoners to torture and mistreatment during their detention.
The situation in Gaza remains volatile with ongoing clashes between Palestinians and Israelis leading to humanitarian crises among civilians living there.
Israeli government officials have been criticized for their treatment of Palestinian prisoners in jails where they have been held without charges or trial for years. The situation raises concerns about human rights abuses by Israel against Palestinians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced plans to recruit more soldiers as part of his effort to eliminate Hamas militants from Gaza Strip after 269 days siege by Israeli army.
Defense Minister Yoav Galant has urged more troops including 3,000 Haredi recruits while opposition leader Yair Lapid has called for early elections as a solution.
Netanyahu’s move comes after he distanced himself from releasing Al-Shifa Medical Complex Director Mohammed Abu Salmiya who was freed after months imprisonment without trial or charge.
