Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the Gaza war will continue until Hamas's military and governmental capacities are eliminated. This statement follows U.S. President Joe Biden's proposal of a peace roadmap, starting with a six-week Israeli withdrawal from populated Gaza areas. Biden emphasized the urgency of ending the conflict in a televised address, highlighting the chance for peace. The war, triggered by Hamas's October 7 attack killing 1,189 Israelis, has led to Israel's retaliatory offensive, which has resulted in 36,284 Palestinian deaths, mostly civilians, according to Gaza's health ministry. The conflict remains intense, with 121 hostages still held by Hamas.
