Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Tuesday his intention to intensify the military pressure against Hamas to release all the hostages regardless of their state and to reach his administration’s war goals. As part of his speech at a memorial ceremony for Israeli fallen soldiers a decade ago, Netanyahu stated that “this is exactly the time to further increase the pressure.” Minutes earlier, the Israeli forces claimed they had killed half of the leaders of Hamas’ military wing as well as about 14,000 members of the group since October 7. In addition, Netanyahu said his country has “no intention” to lose against the hostilities that the “fanatical regime in Iran” has launched against it “as a step towards taking over the Middle East.”
