JERUSALEM \u2013 <\/strong>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference Wednesday evening at his office in Jerusalem, addressing Israeli and international reporters on the ongoing war in Gaza, the fate of the hostages, and Israel\u2019s broader strategic goals.<\/p>\n

Top Objectives: Defeat Hamas, Free Hostages, Prevent Future Threats<\/strong>
\nOpening the briefing, Netanyahu outlined three main goals of the war: the defeat of Hamas, the return of the hostages, and ensuring Gaza can never again pose a threat to Israel. He emphasized that the order of these goals reflects their strategic importance to the government.<\/p>\n

Hostages: At Least 20 Still Alive<\/strong>
\nRegarding the hostages, Netanyahu confirmed that at least 20 are still believed to be alive, with the status of up to 38 others still under review. This comes amid growing demands from hostage families for transparency. He added that Israel has made significant operational progress and said, \u201cWe have likely eliminated Muhammad Sinwar,\u201d one of Hamas\u2019 top military commanders.<\/p>\n

Temporary Ceasefire\u2014But Fighting Will Continue<\/strong>
\nNetanyahu said Israel is open to a temporary pause in fighting under certain conditions, but firmly rejected any talk of a permanent ceasefire at this stage: \u201cThe emphasis is on temporary\u2014fighting will continue until all objectives are met.\u201d<\/p>\n

Complete Security Control Over Gaza<\/strong>
\nOne of Netanyahu\u2019s most definitive statements came as he outlined Israel\u2019s post-war vision for Gaza: \u201cAt the end of the operation, all territory in Gaza will be under Israeli security control.\u201d<\/p>\n

He made it clear that Hamas would not be allowed to return and that the goal is to establish a new security reality.<\/p>\n

Three-Part Civilian Assistance Plan<\/strong>
\nNetanyahu introduced a parallel humanitarian framework designed to support civilians while limiting Hamas’ access to aid: entry of basic food supplies to avoid humanitarian collapse, establishment of IDF-secured distribution centers, and the creation of a sterile humanitarian zone in southern Gaza to separate civilians from militants.<\/p>\n

Coordination with the U.S. and Iran Warning<\/strong>
\nThe Prime Minister emphasized that Israel is coordinating fully with the United States, especially regarding Iran, and expressed hope for an agreement that would prevent nuclear enrichment. However, he warned: \u201cIsrael reserves the right to defend itself against a regime that seeks its destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
