Amidst easing tensions with Iran, Israel is redirecting its efforts towards eliminating Hamas’s last remaining stronghold in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Sunday to intensify military and diplomatic pressure on Hamas, aiming to secure the release of remaining hostages and declare victory in the prolonged conflict. These statements indicate the potential for a looming assault on Rafah, a Gazan city near the Egyptian border, where approximately half of the enclave’s population has sought refuge. Netanyahu stated that more severe and impactful blows will be inflicted upon Hamas in the near future, although he did not elaborate on specific measures.
