The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced on Monday, August 4 that he would give this week “instructions” about the search for war in the Gaza Strip, when the pressures are accentuated in his government for the result of the conflict and the release of the captives of October 7.
At the same time, Israel intends to present the issue of hostages “on the agenda of the center of the world,” said his head of diplomacy, Gideon Saar, on the eve of a session of the United Nations Security Council dedicated to this archive on his initiative.
When opening a Council of Ministers, Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that he would call “this week” his cabinet to “instructions” the army “on how to achieve the three war objectives we establish.”
“Defeat the enemy, frees our hostages”
“We are in the midst of an intense war in which we have obtained very important historical successes, because we were not divided (…) we must remain united,” he added. He recalled the “war objectives” that are “surpassing the enemy, freeing our hostages and guaranteeing that Gaza no longer constitutes a threat to Israel.”
In the war against Hamas from the unprecedented attack against the Palestinian Islamist movement on its soil on October 7, 2023, the Israeli government faces increasing pressure to find an exit.
Almost 600 former officials of the security apparatus in Israel, Mossad and Shin bet in particular, on Monday they called the president of the United States, Donald Trump to press Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war and, therefore, bring back “hostages at home.”
“Stop the war in Gaza!” He urges this letter, signed by the main Israeli teachers, a cohort of former generals and security officials, who are proud to be strong of “thousand years of experience in national security and diplomacy” of the country.
These speeches “are just a lie and deception”
Benjamin Netanyahu “takes Israel to his ruin and hostages when they died,” said the family forum, the main organization of captive families in Gaza.
“For 22 months, we have sold to the public the illusion that military pressure and intense battles will bring back to hostages”, but these speeches “are just a lie and a deception of the public,” he still punished.
Of the 251 people kidnapped during the attack on Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023, 49 remain held in Gaza, including 27 declared dead by the Israeli army, after two truces that allowed the release of others.
