His statement comes as aid trucks prepare to enter the enclave following reports of severe food shortages and famine.

Netanyahu emphasized that Israel's military campaign aims for "complete victory," including the release of hostages held by Hamas and the dismantling of the militant group. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has warned residents of Khan Younis to evacuate as it prepares for an intensified offensive.

In response to global concerns, Israel has agreed to allow limited food supplies into Gaza. Reports indicate that trucks carrying essential items such as flour, cooking oil, and baby food will be permitted entry, though the scale of aid remains minimal.

The situation continues to escalate, with Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple locations across Gaza. As the humanitarian crisis deepens, international leaders are urging Israel to lift the blockade entirely and ensure adequate aid reaches civilians.
