Netanyahu said at a meeting with Likud lawmakers on Monday that the army would intensify its fighting “in the coming days,” according to a statement from his Likud party. The war will be “long” and is “not near the end.” According to his own statements, the head of government had previously traveled to the Gaza Strip himself.

During a speech before the Knesset, Netanyahu later promised to free the hostages of the Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas who were still in the Gaza Strip. However, the Israeli army needs “more time” to increase military pressure on Hamas.
Boos for Netanyahu
Relatives of the hostages booed Netanyahu several times during his speech and chanted “Now! Now!” to support their calls for more efforts to release the hostages more quickly.
The war between Israel and Hamas has now been going on for 80 days. The trigger was a large-scale attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7th, in which around 1,140 people were killed and around 250 others were kidnapped as hostages in the Gaza Strip.
Since then, Israel has been carrying out massive attacks in the Palestinian territory – with the declared aim of destroying Hamas. According to the latest figures from the Hamas Ministry of Health, which cannot be independently verified, more than 20,670 people have been killed so far.
