The time is now 04:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the latest developments related to the Israel-Hamas conflict, IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi declared full responsibility for providing answers to families of slain soldiers during a Memorial Day ceremony. He acknowledged the IDF's failure on October 7 and expressed deep remorse for the loss. The State Comptroller initiated an investigation into the failures leading to the Hamas invasion on October 7, requesting access to classified military information.
On the international front, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron warned against an arms embargo on Israel, stating that it would strengthen Hamas and hinder potential hostage deals. He highlighted the UK's limited role in supplying arms to Israel and emphasized the need for a nuanced approach to arms exports.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Israel to outline a post-war plan for Gaza to prevent Hamas from governing again. Blinken emphasized the importance of avoiding a vacuum in Gaza, which could lead to chaos and a resurgence of Hamas. He addressed concerns about potential Israeli military operations in Rafah, stressing the need for a strategic approach to achieve lasting security and demilitarization.
Additionally, pro-settlement groups in Israel are organizing a mass march on Independence Day to advocate for the resettlement of Gaza. The Nachala Settlement Movement, along with other hardline groups, aims to rally for resettlement despite government reluctance. This initiative reflects a broader push within some political circles for a return to settlements in Gaza as a means of ensuring long-term security.
Furthermore, thousands have signed up for the march, showcasing ongoing support for the resettlement cause. The movement to rebuild settlements in Gaza post-conflict aligns with the goals of certain political parties and activists seeking to assert Israeli presence in the region despite potential challenges and international opposition.
