Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended his plan to “take control” of Gaza City, calling it the “best way” to defeat Hamas and free hostages. At a press conference, he said, “If we don’t do anything, we are not going to get them out.” Netanyahu denied Israel was starving Gazans, accusing Hamas of looting aid trucks. The UN Security Council, including the UK, France, and China, warned the plan could “violate international humanitarian law” and cause “another calamity.” UN officials said it may bring more deaths, destruction, and displacement. Protests in Israel continue over fears for hostages’ safety. (PC: Reuters)
