During the press conference, Netanyahu defended this decision by protesting against the “global lies campaign”, as he called the voices of criticism, condemning Israel's plans.
He announced that the campaign would end “quite quickly” and promised that Israel would create “protected corridors” and new humanitarian aid distribution points in this city.
“Creative ways”
The prime minister also reported that the Israeli authorities discuss “creative ways” of releasing hostages during a campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. He assured that he did not want to occupy the gases or prolong the war. “The extension of the war would lead to the fact that many hostages would die of hunger,” added Netanyahu.
Hamas warned that if the Israeli forces started a new offensive, he would kill hostages.
