The ongoing war between Israel and Gaza does not seem to be stopping now. Israel has once again reiterated its call to launch ground strikes. Recently, questions were being raised that even after this announcement, why Israel has not yet launched ground attacks on the Gaza Strip.

Also According to Reuters Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a televised statement on Wednesday clarifying that Israel was preparing a ground attack on Gaza, although he declined to provide further information or details on when the operation would begin.

We are preparing for a ground attack – Netanyahu
PM Netanyahu said the decision on when troops would enter Palestinian territories controlled by the terror group Hamas would be made by the government’s special war cabinet, which would also include a leader of the opposition parties. He said that we have already eliminated thousands of terrorists, this is just the beginning. He said Israel was preparing for a ground attack. He would not elaborate on when, how, etc. this would happen. He refused to elaborate on any steps taken by the government in this matter, which are not known to the public. He said that these things should be like this.
‘Everyone has to answer’
After Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, Israel responded appropriately and bombarded the densely populated Gaza Strip for several days. While about 140 Israelis were killed in the mutual attacks, the number of Palestinians killed is over 1500. This figure was given by Gaza’s Ministry of Health. Benjamin Netanyahu said that all those responsible for the attack will be held accountable. He said how Hamas infiltrated Israel, the scandal will be thoroughly investigated and everyone will have to answer, even if it is themselves.
Advise Israel to stop ground attacks?
PM Netanyahu made it clear that all accountability would be determined only after the war. Earlier, a Wall Street Journal report came out, citing American and Israeli officials, as saying that Israel is currently agreeing to delay ground attacks on Gaza, so that the United States can fire missiles into the region. Reuters reported on Monday that Washington had advised Israel to stop ground attacks and that Qatar was informing brokers of Palestinian militants about those talks. He is trying to free as many hostages as possible and prepare for a possible widespread regional war.
