Benjamin Netanyahu: We will increase military pressure on Hamas
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, announced today that Israel will increase military pressure on Hamas to ensure the release of hostages.
In a video message on the eve of Passover, the Jewish festival of unleavened bread, Mr. Netanyahu said, ‘In the coming days, we will increase our political and military pressures on Hamas because this is the only way to ensure the release of our hostages.’ He did not provide further details on this matter.
Despite international protests, Mr. Netanyahu has repeatedly stated that the Israeli army will conduct a ground attack on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza. Since the Israeli invasion of Gaza, more than 15 million Palestinians have sought refuge in Rafah.
