Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sharply criticized the UK, France, and Canada for opposing Israel's expanded military operations in Gaza, accusing them of rewarding Hamas's October 7 attack.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to “defend ourselves alone” against Yemen’s Houthi rebels after US President Donald Trump struck a deal with the Iran-backed group.

Commenting on the agreement, Netanyahu claimed in a televised speech: “Israel will defend itself by itself. We are doing this in Yemen, we are doing this in other places, at great distances.”

Israeli officials say they’re poised to order tanks and troops into unconquered parts of the Gaza Strip in an all-out bid to destroy Hamas, throwing an ultimatum at the Palestinian Islamist faction to concede on terms for a negotiated winding down of the war.

"Israel will allow a basic quantity of food to be brought in... to make certain that no starvation crisis develops in the Gaza Strip," the IDF says.
