Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced preparations for a ground invasion of Gaza to eradicate Hamas, the controlling terror group, following their unprecedented attacks on October 7. Netanyahu, addressing the nation, emphasized the gravity of the situation, describing it as a "fight for our existence." He highlighted Israel's efforts to eliminate terrorists while refraining from divulging specific operation details. The conflict has led to over 6500 casualties in Gaza, prompting the Biden administration to push for a 'humanitarian pause' to address the growing crisis with dwindling essential supplies in the Palestinian enclave.
