Initially expected to take up to five months, the operation aims to defeat hamas quickly and end the conflict with an Israeli victory. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel&#8217;s goal is not to occupy Gaza permanently but to liberate the territory from Hamas terrorists. The israeli government intends to transfer control of Gaza to Arab forces that would govern the area without posing a threat to Israel. The operation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/maricopa-county-az-board-approves-full-forensic-audit-of-voting-equipment-will-test-hacking-vulnerability\/\" title=\"Maricopa County, AZ, Board Approves \u2018Full Forensic Audit\u2019 Of Voting Equipment, Will Test \u2018Hacking Vulnerability\u2019\">unanimously approved<\/a> by the Israeli Security Cabinet, also seeks to free approximately 50 Israeli hostages held in Gaza, though many are believed to be dead. The offensive is expected to displace around 800,000 Palestinians from Gaza City. Meanwhile, the United nations Security Council held an emergency meeting to address the situation amid concerns over a worsening hunger crisis in Gaza, which Netanyahu has denied is caused by Israeli policy.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Netanyahu orders IDF to shorten <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-to-make-a-major-political-comeback\/\" title=\"President Trump to make a major political comeback\">time frame<\/a> for seizing Gaza City in defense of new offensive<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2200115\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Gaza\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> indicated on Sunday that he ordered the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/idf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Israel Defense Forces\">Israel Defense Forces<\/a> to shorten its time frame for seizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Gaza\">Gaza<\/a> City, an operation that will reportedly take up to five months.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu defended the new offensive after it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-the-government-wont-be-coming-to-your-door-if-youre-not-vaccinated\/\" title=\"No, The Government Won\u2019t Be Coming To Your Door If You\u2019re Not Vaccinated\">sparked major backlash<\/a> in the days since the plan&rsquo;s approval.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3495696\/trump-may-invite-zelensky-alaska-summit-putin-report\/\">Trump may invite Zelensky to Alaska summit with Putin: Report<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3495597\/firefighters-battle-prevent-reignition-france-largest-wildfire\/\">Firefighters battle to prevent reignition of France&rsquo;s largest wildfire as residents return home<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3495551\/zelensky-trump-alaska-peace-talks-rejects-land-swap\/\">Zelensky pours cold water on Trump&#8217;s Alaska peace talks, rejects land swap<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I am determined to end the war with our victory, and precisely because I am aware of the great effort of our reservists, I want to end the war as quickly as possible.
