Netanyahu Says U.S. Gave Him Green Light to Resume Attacking Gaza Despite Ceasefire

HeadlineJan 20, 2025

On Saturday, Netanyahu said Israel reserves the right to resume attacks on Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Both President Trump and President Biden gave full backing to Israel’s right to return to fighting if Israel reaches the conclusion that negotiations of the second stage is fruitless. I appreciate it very much. … If we need to resume fighting, we will do that in new ways, and we will do it with great force.”

Israel killed about 200 Palestinians after the ceasefire was first agreed to on Wednesday. We will have more on the Gaza ceasefire after headlines.
