Israel doubled down on its security authority in Gaza Sunday, declaring it retains full decision-making power despite agreeing to a U.S.-mediated ceasefire. The deal proposes an international security force, but Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear: "We control our fate." 🎯
Netanyahu told ministers Israel alone will decide military strikes and which countries participate in peacekeeping—a move analysts call a "sovereignty flex." Meanwhile, Egyptian convoys rolled into Gaza with bulldozers and rescue teams to search rubble for Israeli hostages, per Hamas claims. 🚚💨
Footage showed trucks flying Egypt’s flag heading to Al-Zawayda, approved by Netanyahu as a "technical team." Israeli officials stressed no military personnel were involved. The operation aims to recover remains trapped since last year’s conflict, but tensions simmer as Israel asserts: "We defend ourselves by our own means." ⚡
While the truce offers hope for de-escalation, Netanyahu’s stance signals rocky negotiations ahead. Will international forces get a seat at the table? For now, Israel’s playing by its own rules. 🌍🤝
