Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday and pledged not to withdraw Israeli forces from their positions, Middle East Eye reported. "We control the area. We are not retreating. We are staying on this…" Netanyahu said during the visit to the territory.
The statement underscores Israel's commitment to maintaining a military foothold in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict. Netanyahu's remarks to troops reflect the government's position on the scope and duration of Israeli military operations in the enclave, where Israeli forces have conducted extensive operations in recent months.
