New Israeli Military Chief Warns Mission Against Hamas Is Ongoing

General Eyal Zamir, newly appointed as Israel's military chief, emphasizes the continued fight against Hamas as a fragile truce faces uncertainty.

General Eyal Zamir, a veteran military leader known for his aggressive approach, has been appointed as the 24th Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated Israel's commitment to defeating Hamas, stating that the results of the conflict will impact future generations.
The current truce, which has enabled the release of 33 hostages and some humanitarian aid to Gaza, faces challenges as Israel and Hamas disagree on its extension and terms.
Arab leaders have proposed a $53 billion reconstruction plan for Gaza, excluding Hamas, but Israel has rejected this proposal, complicating post-conflict rebuilding efforts.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 1,200 Israeli deaths and at least 48,405 fatalities in Gaza, predominantly civilians, highlighting the severe human toll of the war.
