International newspapers and news sites shed light on the Israeli army's operations in the Gaza Strip and the dilemma it faces, as the Palestinian resistance continues to fight. Some newspapers also wrote about a Western protest campaign against Israel's policies.

Despite the operations led by the Israeli army in the devastated Gaza Strip, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) continues to fight and forces Israeli forces to deploy again in areas from which they withdrew and announced the dismantling of Hamas teams holed up there. This is a contradiction with reality, as stated in a report by the newspaper “Le Monde.” .

The French newspaper's report stated, "Israel was unable to reach Hamas leaders or free the hostages, and is now offering a ceasefire that may last more than a month."

For its part, the Wall Street Journal wrote that talk of Israel shifting its focus after Khan Yunis towards Rafah risks fighting in a crowded area and raises fears of aggravation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The newspaper refers to the statements of the Israeli Defense Minister, Yoav Galant, regarding the army’s future move, highlighting that “it reflects the magnitude of the dilemma facing the Israeli government in achieving its goal of eliminating Hamas.”

As for the New York Times, it highlighted a document signed by more than 800 officials from the United States, Britain, and European countries to protest Israel’s policies.

According to the same newspaper, the signatories expressed, through internal channels, “their opposition to their governments’ policies towards the war in Gaza and their fears that their leaders’ support for Israel would contribute to war crimes, but they were ignored.”

In its article, Haaretz newspaper focused on the executive order issued by US President Joe Biden regarding settler violence. The article considered this executive order as “an unprecedented step that could radically affect the settlement project in the West Bank and lay the foundation for the possibility of imposing sanctions on Israeli officials.” .

The Israeli newspaper added, "The sanctions send a strong message to Benjamin Netanyahu's government that tolerating illegal settlement expansion will harm relations with the United States."

Biden issued an executive order aimed at punishing Jewish settlers who attack Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
