Netanyahu says ‘we are not retreating’ during Gaza visit
Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported7m ago
On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli forces inside the Gaza Strip, marking his first visit to the territory since the ceasefire efforts began. During the visit, Netanyahu explicitly vowed that troops would not retreat or pull back from their current positions, stating, "We control the area. We are not retreating. We are staying on this line" near the Yellow Line.
The visit and subsequent statements come in defiance of a recent push by mediators to advance a US-backed ceasefire plan that calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces. Netanyahu's public stance underscores Israel's continued military presence and control in the war-shattered territory amid ongoing diplomatic negotiations.
