Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz released a statement Monday night saying, “Gaza is burning. The IDF is striking with an iron fist at the terror infrastructure, and IDF soldiers are fighting bravely to create the conditions for the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas. We will not relent and will not retreat – until the mission is complete.”
Yet, as the Israeli military enters Gaza City, Hamas may put the hostages in greater danger. On Truth Social, President Trump warned, “I have just read a news report that Hamas has moved the hostages above ground to use them as human shields against Israel’s ground offensive. I hope the leaders of Hamas know what they’re getting into if they do such a thing. This is a human atrocity, the likes of which few people have ever seen before. Don’t let this happen, or all ‘bets are off.’ Release all hostages now.”
Speaking to a group of visiting U.S. state lawmakers on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is also facing an organized campaign to delegitimize the Jewish State.

The prime minister told the legislators, “We value and cherish your support, and there is an active effort to erode it. That effort to besiege Israel, not merely isolate it, as much as besiege Israel. That is orchestrated by the same forces that supported Iran – Iran’s effort to put a military siege on us and ultimately choke us.”
