When it ends, we will attack with more force, says the Minister of Defense

Two months of truce. That was the agreement they reached yesterday on the edge Israel and Hams. Qatar and Egypt had spoken with both parties against the clock —during the last hours of the ceasefire—to achieve it, while the roots of uncertainty grew among the disturbed earth, the rubble and the mass graves of a Strip that was still shaking.
The Hams Islamic Resistance Movement announces that it has been agreed with the brothers in Qatar and Egypt to extend the temporary humanitarian truce for two more days under the same conditions as the previous truce, the group announced via Telegram. Every day, ten hostages in Gaza – women and children – will continue to be released in exchange for 30 prisoners in Israel.. A total of 20 Israelis and 60 Palestinians (in two days) who will join the 50 and 150 that both sides have released since the ceasefire began on Friday morning.
But the exchanges are not free of tension. When Israel received the list of the 11 hostages that were going to be released yesterday, it expressed its differences and the exchange was about to be ruined. The problem: several children were going to be separated from their mothers, and Hams had promised not to separate any family. Finally—thanks, again, to the mediation of Qatar and Egypt—there was an agreement and truce.
But When the truce ends, we will attack with even more forcewarned the Israeli Defense Minister, Yoav Galant. Everywhere I go, soldiers tell me “let’s complete the mission, let’s go to the end.” We won’t stop until we are satisfied.

There is no pause in the West Bank
The truce only covers the Strip. In the West Bank, the other region of Israel with a Palestinian majority, The Army continues to suffocate civilians with special operations, and yesterday it stopped at 56 ms. Since the Hamas attack on October 7, the number of arrests in the area has reached 3,260.
And 230 have died at the hands of troops or by settler attacks. Precisely because of them, because of the settlers, Israel has once again reformed its 2023 budget. The Minister of Economy, Bezalel Smotrich, announced that he would allocate more funds to the settlements.
It is not self-defense and will not make Israel safer. The settlements constitute a serious violation of International Lawstated the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Joseph Borrell.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Shtay called on the international community to consider the Strip as a disaster zone. And the Hams government raised the death toll a ms de 15.000.
Elon Musk’s visit
When the American billionaire Elon Musk —the one who bought Twitter and transformed it into X— landed in Israel, Netanyahu I was waiting for him with open arms. He took him to visit the Kfar Azza kibbutz, a few kilometers from the border with the Strip, and there showed him the horrors of the massacre. I also introduced him to the family of Avigail Idanan Israeli girl released Sunday night whose parents were killed by Hams.
There is no alternative, Musk said of Netanyahu’s offensive, in a conversation broadcast by X. He later emphasized that it is essential to create a prosperous Gaza when the war is over, and He assured Netanyahu that he would like to help a su reconstruccin.

He did it this time as host of the VIII Forum of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), also held in Barcelona, and which had the participation of the 43 countries of the international organization (including Palestine) and with the absence, precisely, of Israel. The Foreign Minister, on the other hand, insisted on the arguments that led the Netanyahu Government to formulate said criticism, that is, the recognition of Palestine as a State and the condemnation of the Israeli military response in the Gaza Strip, but he also highlighted his condemns the terrorist attack that Hams. In a joint press conference with his Palestinian counterpart, Riyad al Maliki, Albares expressed the Government’s support for the Palestinian National Authority as an essential voice to talk about peace and the future of Gaza over the control that Hamas intends to establish in the region.
Al Maliki thanked him in perfect Spanish for the visit to the region and Sánchez’s position showing his solidarity with the victims, with the just cause of the Palestinian people and his support for justice and peace. Maliki also thanked the Spanish people for their solidarity and showed complicity with Albares, calling him a colleague and friend.
