Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said his country should seize complete control of Gaza.
Israeli forces withdrew from its offensive against doctors, nurses, and patients inside Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital last week and left behind “ruins,” according to the World Health Organization.
Israel continued its collective punishment of Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank on Monday carrying out a deadly raid inside a Gaza hospital while “settlers” vandalized a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) headquarters in Jerusalem.
U.S. President Joe Biden said in an interview on Saturday that he’ll never leave Israel’s side, despite saying earlier that a ground invasion in Rafah was a red line because of the human toll it would take in Gaza.

Even if the Israeli military crushes Hamas’s organized military force in Gaza, the “terror group and a guerrilla group” will survive, according to Israeli intelligence.
Israel paid special attention to Gaza’s Khan Younis—the hometown of Hamas’s leader—and made sure that the city was pulverized to the ground in its collective-punishment campaign against Palestinians after the 7 October Hamas attack.
