Stressing achieving "demilitarisation" of Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he will never allow Palestinian authority to return to the strip, adding that there will be a 'civil government' that won't educate children about "destroying Israel."
Speaking to ANI, he said that Palestine is seeking to stop aggression and achieving solidarity. His remarks came as the war between Israel and Hamas entered its third month.
The government of Israel extended the time for evacuees forced to leave the areas near Gaza and Lebanon due the ongoing danger there to submit applications for an additional aid grant.
The Israeli government said that the plan is intended to anchor its "commitment to the rehabilitation and development of the region for the sake of the communities, residents and Israel as a whole into a safe and sustainable area."
As the Israel-Hamas war entered day 65, the protests across the world both for Israel and Palestine refused to die down. Over 1000 Indonesians held a pro-Palestine rally in Medan, in the hope that a ceasefire would happen soon.
A special aircraft of the Russian Emergencies Ministry airlifted Russian citizens and their family members from the besieged Gaza Strip, TASS reported, citing the ministry's press service.
