Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asserted that the majority of Israelis are united more than ever in supporting his policies. Netanyahu’s statement comes amidst growing tensions in the region, with the war in Gaza prompting a clash with U.S. President Joe Biden.
Biden recently urged Netanyahu to curb civilian deaths in Gaza, but stated that the U.S. has no plans to cut off weapons to Israel. The Israeli Prime Minister rejected Biden’s assertion that the war in Gaza is hurting Israel, highlighting the support for expanding military operations into Rafah among three-quarters of Jewish respondents.
In a separate development, thirteen Arabs from northern Israel have been charged with planning terrorist attacks on behalf of Hamas. This comes as the Netherlands National Holocaust Museum opened in Amsterdam on Sunday, serving as a poignant reminder of the atrocities of the past.
As Ramadan begins, efforts to broker a cease-fire deal remain stalled, with no immediate resolution in sight. Meanwhile, detained UN workers have accused Israel of abuse, including physical beatings and threats. The U.N. Security Council has also announced plans to review a report accusing Hamas of sexual assaults.
Turkish President Erdogan has added fuel to the fire by comparing Netanyahu to Hitler and backing Hamas leaders. Despite these tensions, humanitarian aid flow into Gaza has increased, although it still remains below the target set by UNRWA.
The situation in the region remains highly volatile, with political rhetoric and military actions intensifying. The coming days will be crucial in determining the path towards peace and stability in the Middle East. Stay tuned to Swerd Media for the latest updates on this developing story.
