Most recently, foreign ministers from more than two dozen countries issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to the Gaza war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The death toll in the sealed off enclave is nearing 60,000, according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Israeli leader also stated that the fight against the &#8220;Iranian axis&#8221; is not over. In addition to Hamas, Israel must also address the Houthi militia in Yemen, which is backed by Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Netanyahu added that Israel must preserve its achievements in the war with Iran. In June, Israel bombed nuclear facilities and missile launch sites in Iran, which responded with counterattacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/netanyahu-insists-hamas-defeat-hostage-174734632.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
