  "account": "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, insisting Israel would not retreat despite a recent push by mediators to advance a US-backed ceasefire plan. The Prime Minister, speaking near the demarcation line separating Israeli and Hamas control, stated, \"We control 60 per cent of the Strip, and we are not stopping, because we are eliminating the terrorists who threaten us, day in and day out.\" Netanyahu reiterated Israel's commitment to disarming Hamas and eliminating threats, emphasizing their ongoing operations in Gaza. Defense Minister Israel Katz added that Israel planned to remove Palestinians from the territory, though the method remained unspecified. Despite international calls for a more comprehensive solution, Netanyahu maintained that Israel would not abandon its efforts until Hamas is genuinely disarmed. Since the ceasefire began in October 2025, Israeli operations have resulted in at least 1,334 casualties and five Israeli deaths.",
