Speaking in Jerusalem to members of AIPAC’s board of directors, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says the decision to resume attacks in Gaza was made “several days ago,” adding that the strikes will continue beyond today.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff “made two different proposals and Hamas rejected both of them,” says Sa’ar. “We found ourselves at a dead end, with no hostages released and no military action. This is a situation that cannot continue.”
“This is not a one day attack,” Sa’ar emphasizes, adding that the operation would continue “over the coming days.”
