Israel PM Netanyahu Says Gaza Assault “Isn’t Close to Finished”

HeadlineDec 26, 2023

Israel’s military said Sunday it had recovered the bodies of five Israeli hostages from a network of underground tunnels under the Jabaliya refugee camp near Gaza City. Israeli officials did not say how the captives had died. On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Gaza Strip for the second time since Israel began its assault in October. He told troops “this will be a long battle, and it isn’t close to finished.” Later on Monday, family members of hostages held a protest inside Israel’s parliament as Netanyahu delivered a speech at a special session of the Knesset. They were demanding Israel’s government prioritize the release of the 130 hostages still held in Gaza. The protesters chanted “No time, now!” and held signs reading, “What if it was your brother?” and “What if it was your father?”
