Israeli Minister Says Netanyahu Committed to Broader Military Campaign in Gaza

Israeli Science and Technology Minister Gila Gamliel said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains committed to pursuing a broader military campaign in the Gaza Strip, describing what she called a strategy of a “general clean-up.” Speaking on Saturday, Gamliel said the approach forms part of Israel’s wider regional security strategy and extends beyond current ceasefire discussions.

According to Gamliel, the Israeli leadership envisions military operations that go beyond limited tactical objectives, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at securing or maintaining ceasefire arrangements. She suggested that the strategy reflects a long-term approach to Gaza but did not provide details on how it would be implemented or how long it would continue.

Her remarks offer insight into the Israeli government’s stated strategic outlook as fighting in Gaza continues. The comments come amid ongoing military operations, diplomatic negotiations, and international scrutiny over the conflict and its humanitarian impact.
