Jerusalem. The Israeli government's top priority is to destroy Hamas. Along with this, the government also wants the safe return of hostages from Gaza. This was stated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said, as the Prime Minister, he is working to achieve both the goals. But as the head of a coalition government, he is also facing pressure from the allies. Many times, difficulties arise in implementing the decisions taken unanimously in the War Cabinet.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Givir, leader of the far-right party in the Israeli government, has said that Prime Minister Netanyahu is whitewashing the US President's Gaza plan to implement it. He is slowing down the war in Gaza. Meanwhile, 11 people have been killed in the latest attacks by the Israeli army in Gaza. Of these, seven people, including a woman, were killed in the Nuseirat refugee camp and four people, including three children, were killed in the Bureij refugee camp. Israeli army action is also continuing in Rafah.
Body of another Israeli hostage found
Israeli soldiers have found a badly mutilated body near the border in Gaza. The body is suspected to be that of 35-year-old Dolev Yehud, who was kidnapped and held hostage by Hamas. The Israeli army has said that Yehud was brutally killed in recent days. The body of the hostage has been found at a time when discussions are rife on US President Joe Biden's plan to impose a ceasefire in Gaza. In this plan, a permanent ceasefire is to be imposed in Gaza in exchange for the release of hostages.
More than 1 million Palestinians left Rafah
To save their lives from Israeli attacks, more than 1 million Palestinian refugees have left Rafah and reached the refugee area built near Khan Younis and other places. But several lakh Palestinians are still present in Rafah. These refugees were sent by the Israeli army a few weeks ago to the Egyptian border town of Rafah to take refuge from various parts of Gaza.
