Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated on Sunday that he ordered the Israel Defense Forces to shorten its time frame for seizing Gaza City, an operation that will reportedly take up to five months.
Netanyahu defended the new offensive after it sparked major backlash in the days since the plan’s approval.
“I am determined to end the war with our victory, and precisely because I am aware of the great effort of our reservists, I want to end the war as quickly as possible. That is why I have instructed the IDF to shorten the timetable for taking control of Gaza City,” he told reporters at a press conference. “I do not intend to perpetuate Hamas — I intend to defeat Hamas.”
