Netanyahu Plans Strategic Security Talks Amid Intensified Gaza Conflict

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to hold a security cabinet meeting this week, focusing on military strategies in Gaza.

Netanyahu emphasized unity in achieving war goals, including defeating the enemy, freeing hostages, and eliminating future threats from Gaza. Israeli media reports suggest he may expand the offensive to capture the entire Palestinian area.

The decision follows a Hamas attack on Israel, killing 1,200 and taking 251 hostages, prompting a counter-offensive leading to over 60,000 Palestinian deaths. With 50 hostages still in Gaza, only 20 are believed to be alive.
