Netanyahu Bets on Ending Hamas Before Trump's Visit to Israel

SadaNews: The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz revealed, citing an informed source in Washington, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer presented U.S. President Donald Trump with a comprehensive plan for the occupation of Gaza, asserting that it would be "violent and decisive" and would lead to the complete elimination of Hamas, thereby negating the need for any negotiations over a partial deal.

According to the source, Netanyahu aims to invite Trump to visit Israel before his scheduled official trip to Britain on September 17. Netanyahu hopes that the military operation will have achieved its goals by that date, so he can welcome him in Israel following a "victory over Hamas."

These moves come amid growing international pressure on Israel to halt military operations in Gaza and warnings of a worsening humanitarian disaster, while reports indicate that the Israeli army currently controls about 75% of the territory.
