In a moment of anger and loss of restraint, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly admitted that the war in Gaza is part of a deliberate plan to displace a large number of Palestinians, rather than just a reaction to "Palestinian terrorism."

According to Haaretz, Netanyahu made the comments during a heated meeting with a group of Israeli reserve officers, who criticized his government’s strategy, accusing it of endangering hostages and serving personal and political interests.
In response, Netanyahu struck the table with his fist, saying:
“We are destroying Gaza completely. There must not be a safe place for them to return and live in… they must leave.”
The remarks, if verified, could confirm long-standing accusations that the Israeli campaign in Gaza goes beyond military objectives and seeks forced displacement of the Palestinian population.
In a related development, Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee protocols revealed that right-wing lawmakers have justified the systematic starvation and denial of medical supplies to Gaza civilians as part of government policy.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced that it intercepted a missile launched by the Houthis from Yemen and vowed to respond forcefully.
