The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Thursday, October 24, 2024, that the military operation in Gaza is nearing its end, but has not yet reached its final stage. This came during an interview he had with the French network CNEWS.

Netanyahu pointed out that his forces dealt a heavy blow to Hamas's combat capabilities, eliminating the leader he described as responsible for "the deadliest attack in Israel's history."

He added by saying: "This is not our war alone, it is your war too; it is a struggle between civilization and barbarism, transcending the boundaries of the war on terrorism."

The American site "Axios" reported from an Israeli security official that the Israeli government is considering a proposal for a two-week ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, including the release of 6 Israeli detainees.
