Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced an impending military offensive in Gaza aimed at capturing territory and defeating Hamas, coinciding with Donald Trump’s upcoming diplomatic trip. The offensive is expected to exacerbate humanitarian crises, with over two million Palestinian civilians facing starvation due to Israel’s blockade, which has drawn international condemnation for violating humanitarian principles. Critics argue that the prolonged conflict serves Netanyahu’s political interests rather than national security, as public support for the military effort wanes among Israelis.
