Turin, Aug 4 (LaPresse) – Senior officials from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have declared, “The truce has been broken, we will fully occupy the Gaza Strip,” according to Ynet. The officials added that “operations will also take place in areas where hostages are being held.” The goal, they stated, is the complete occupation of Gaza and the defeat of Hamas. However, it is not ruled out that this statement may be part of a negotiation tactic aimed at pressuring the organization. The officials also addressed the opposition expressed by the IDF Chief of Staff regarding the plan, stating: “If it doesn't suit him, he can resign.”
