Reports from international observers and officials indicate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underscored a firm position: the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will persist with military actions if the Gaza ceasefire is breached. The remarks were relayed by the state news agency TASS. In Netanyahu’s view, the IDF would proceed with measured prudence, yet would resume hostilities should the truce prove violated or exploited in a way that jeopardizes security objectives. He stressed that violence would not be tolerated as a passive spectator, and that operational steps would be taken as necessary to advance what he described as the ongoing mission to secure the return of hostages, a goal linked to the broader strategic plan discussed in various briefings (TASS).
