💥 Breaking 💥: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Sunday that Hamas leaders could leave Gaza only if the group surrenders weapons and control of the enclave. The proposal comes amid escalating violence and tense ceasefire negotiations. 🕊️
'Military Pressure Is Working': Netanyahu's Strategy
At a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu framed military strikes as a tool to 'create cracks' in Hamas’s resistance, claiming it has weakened the group’s governance and boosted chances of releasing Israeli hostages. 'We are negotiating under fire,' he said.
Hostages & Regional Tensions
Netanyahu denied prioritizing politics over hostages’ safety, insisting military-political pressure remains the 'only way' to secure their freedom. Meanwhile, Israel resumed airstrikes in Gaza on March 18, ending a two-month ceasefire. An attack on Beirut last Friday marked its first strike there since November’s Hezbollah truce.
Global Backing & Risks
Backing U.S. strikes against Yemen’s Houthis, Netanyahu highlighted Israel’s 'alliance with the greatest power in the world' 🌎. But rising violence has sparked UN warnings of broader instability. Can diplomacy prevail? For now, both sides dig in.
