Israel will not seek to occupy or rule Gaza after the war against Hamas, but a credible force will be needed to enter the Palestinian enclave if necessary to prevent military threats from emerging. This is what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News.
"I think it is clear what the future of Gaza should be. Hamas will disappear: we must destroy it for the good of all, for the good of civilization and for the good of the Palestinians and the Israelis," Netanyahu said. .
He reiterated that his government would not agree to a ceasefire in Gaza.
"This would mean surrender to Hamas, surrender to terror and the victory of Iran's axis of evil. There will be no ceasefire without the release of the hostages," the Israeli prime minister underlined.
Meanwhile, Gaza experienced another night of heavy shelling, with Israeli forces targeting civilian infrastructure, including several hospitals.
Human Rights Watch says thousands of patients and displaced Palestinians housed at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City face "serious risks".
The spokesman for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza says that the Israeli attack hit the courtyard of the al-Shifa medical complex.
The White House says Israel has agreed to a four-hour daily pause in fighting to allow Palestinians to leave northern Gaza.
The Israeli military launched strikes in Syria early Friday in response to a drone strike at a school building in Eilat on Thursday.
At least 10,812 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. In Israel, the death toll is more than 1,400.
