"Israel's Final Gaza Operation: Netanyahu Acknowledges Hamas Surrender and US Support"

Israel's large-scale offensive in Gaza, which has lasted for ten weeks, shows no signs of lessening in intensity. However, it is expected to transition into a lower-intensity mobile campaign soon. Israel's main aim is to destroy the military capabilities of Hamas, but the offensive will have to be scaled back due to pressure from the US to avoid further civilian casualties. Israel has not yet achieved its goal of obliterating Hamas's leadership or infrastructure, and Hamas still holds hostages. The US has privately urged Israel to end the offensive by the new year, and there are differences between the two governments on how to govern Gaza once the fighting reduces. The future of Gaza's people remains uncertain.
