Netanyahu: Israel is ‘dissecting the Gaza Strip’

Benjamin Netanyahuprime Minister

Last night in the Gaza Strip, we switched gears. The IDF is seizing territory, striking the terrorists and destroying the infrastructure. We are also doing something else: We are seizing the Morag Corridor. This will be the second Philadelphi, an additional Philadelphi Corridor."

Sharing a video on X, Netanyahu said

We are determined to achieve the objectives of the war, and we are acting relentlessly and with a clear line and a clear mission. And with G-d's (god's) help and that of our heroic soldiers, we will also achieve them."

He further said

It seems like Netanyahu will not stop his war on Gaza until we are displaced,

said Amer al-Farra, who said

As of today, 64% of Gaza is under active forced displacement orders or falling within the so-called 'buffer zone',

said Jonathan Whittall, the top U.N. aid official for Gaza and the West Bank

I call on the residents of Gaza to act now to eliminate Hamas and return all the kidnapped,

Katz said in his statement

All parties must comply fully with international law at all times. Civilians must be respected and protected. The denial of lifesaving aid must end,

Dujarric told reporters

From the moment the strike occurred we have not been able to sit or sleep,

she said, describing how rescue workers were unable to separate the remains of those killed

The only thing that can halt our further advance is the release of our hostages,

he said in a statement

Israel Katzdefense Minister

This is the only way to end the war,

Katz said

We believe that a comprehensive investigation into the events is necessary,

German news agency dpa quoted a spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry as saying in Berlin

Since the beginning of the fighting in Gaza, the German government has repeatedly and intensively advocated for the departure and safety of German citizens,

the Foreign Office told DW

We are cutting up the strip, and we are increasing the pressure step by step, so that they will give us our hostages,

Netanyahu said

Our highest priority must be an immediate deal to bring ALL hostages back home — the living for rehabilitation and those killed for proper burial — and end this war,

the group said
