Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announces that the fight against Hamas in Gaza is winding down, with plans to send troops to the northern border to confront Lebanese Hezbollah. Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah are on the rise, raising the specter of war. Netanyahu underscores the ongoing conflict in Gaza but suggests a shift in focus towards Hezbollah, citing the need for defense and the return of displaced Israelis.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has engaged Israel in cross-border attacks, intensifying in recent weeks. Amid White House efforts to de-escalate, Netanyahu remains prepared for multiple fronts, emphasizing the need for a diplomatic solution. Hezbollah vows to fight until a Gaza cease-fire is reached, cautioning Israel against conflict with advanced capabilities.
Netanyahu asserts continued military operations in Gaza despite progress, highlighting the necessity to prevent Hamas regrouping. The U.S.-Israel relationship strains over arms shipments, hindering the war effort. Amidst political divisions and post-war planning, Netanyahu reiterates Israel’s security priorities and commitment to combatting threats.
