Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday defended a new military offensive in Gaza, declaring that Israel “has no choice but to finish the job and complete the defeat of Hamas.”

Netanyahu said the Security Cabinet last week instructed the dismantling of Hamas strongholds not only in Gaza City but also in the “central camps” and Muwasi.
<h2>Netanyahu Spoke With Trump About Plan</h2>
Netanyahu's office late Sunday said he had spoken with U.S. President Donald Trump about the plan and thanked him for his “steadfast support.”

Rejecting starvation in Gaza as well as a “global campaign of lies," Netanyahu spoke to foreign media just before an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

“Our goal is not to occupy Gaza, our goal is to free Gaza,” Netanyahu asserted. The goals, he said, include demilitarizing the territory, the Israeli military having “overriding security control” and a non-Israeli civilian administration in charge.

Israel wants to increase the number of aid distribution sites in Gaza, he said, but in a later briefing to local media, he asserted: “There is no hunger. There was no hunger. There was a shortage, and there was certainly no policy of starvation."

Netanyahu also said he has directed Israel’s military to “bring in more foreign journalists”—which would be a striking development, as they haven’t been allowed into Gaza beyond military embeds during the war.

He blamed many of Gaza’s problems on the Hamas terrorist group group, including civilian deaths, destruction and aid shortages. “Hamas still has thousands of armed terrorists," he asserted, adding that Palestinians are “begging” to be freed from them.

Hamas responded with a lengthy statement that summed up Netanyahu's remarks as “blatant lies.”
<h2>US Defends Israel at Security Council Meeting</h2>
The United States defended Israel, saying it has the right to decide what’s best for its security. It called allegations of genocide in Gaza false.

The United States. has veto power at the council and can block proposed actions there.

Other council members, and U.N. officials, expressed alarm.

Israel faces growing criticism even by its closest allies. Netanyahu said Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany had “buckled under” the growing international criticism by stopping exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza. Merz, for his part, told public broadcaster ARD that Germany and Israel were talking “very critically” but Berlin’s overall policies of friendship haven’t changed.
