Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed deep remorse for the October 7 Hamas attack but has deferred accountability until after the war, promising an independent investigation at that time. He defended his record, stating financial support to Gaza was for civilian administration, not Hamas. Gaza faces severe humanitarian crises as Israeli military operations continue, including recent mass evacuations and airstrikes in Khan Younis. Human Rights Watch reported Israeli soldiers killed seven civilians in Gaza, intensifying scrutiny over Israel's military actions. Additionally, regional tensions are high with the 'axis of resistance,' led by Iran, threatening retaliation following the assassination of key figures by presumed Israeli strikes.
