Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue the war in Gaza until total victory is achieved. The conflict, following a Hamas-led attack on Israel, has resulted in significant casualties and widespread devastation in Gaza. Egypt and Qatar are mediating ceasefire efforts with Hamas, which has rejected negotiations. The UN criticism of Israel's campaign in Gaza has escalated, leading to diplomatic tensions. Meanwhile, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have rejected an Egyptian proposal for a permanent ceasefire, emphasizing the importance of releasing all hostages held in Gaza in exchange for freeing all Palestinian jailed in Israel. Additionally, Benjamin Netanyahu has stated three prerequisites for peace between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors in Gaza, including the destruction of Hamas, demilitarization of Gaza, and deradicalization of the entire Palestinian society.
