Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant has stressed that after the war ends, neither Israel nor Hamas will rule Gaza, from which Israel formally withdrew in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Several disagreements have emerged between Israel and the US over the former\u2019s conduct in the war, which it unleashed after Hamas rampaged through southern Israel a month ago, killing 1,400 people, according to Israeli officials.<\/p>\n<p>Israel responded with an aerial and artillery bombardment of the enclave that has killed more than 10,300 Palestinians, two-thirds of them women and children, according to Palestinian health officials. It has also begun a ground offensive, and said on Tuesday its troops had entered Gaza City, a Hamas stronghold.<\/p>\n<p>The US has called for greater efforts to protect Palestinian civilians and urged Israel to take \u201chumanitarian pauses\u201d to allow aid into Gaza and to let foreign nationals \u2014 and potentially hostages \u2014 out. <\/p>\n<p>G7 foreign ministers on Wednesday also urged a pause in fighting, highlighting the need for \u201curgent action\u201d as they sought to project unity in their response to the conflict in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em>We confirmed the need to respond to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, especially on the importance of humanitarian pauses and corridors to facilitate the humanitarian assistance,\u201d said Japan\u2019s foreign minister Y\u014dko Kamikawa after hosting the meeting. <\/p>\n<p>Following the G7 talks, UK foreign secretary James Cleverly said: \u201cIn the short term it is inevitable that Israel, because it has the troops in Gaza, will need to have a security responsibility. But our view is that as soon as practicable, a move towards a peace-loving Palestinian leadership is the most desired outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blinken also stressed that there was \u201creal unity\u201d on whether a ceasefire was needed despite members of the G7 having differing views on how much pressure to apply on Israel. But Israel has been unmoved and repeatedly rejected calls for a ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Israel said on Wednesday that its air strikes on Gaza had killed a senior Hamas weapons maker, whom it named as Mahsein Abu Zina. A day earlier, it said its troops had entered Gaza\u2019s main city, which it sees as Hamas\u2019s \u201ccentre of gravity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Israel Defense Forces] are in the heart of Gaza City,\u201d Gallant said. \u201cThey came from the north and the south. They stormed it in full co-ordination between land, air and sea forces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israel has urged Palestinian civilians to evacuate to the south, but many Palestinians remain in the north and the UN has described the situation for hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza City and other areas as \u201cincreasingly dire\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Gallant said Israeli forces were still pushing deeper into northern Gaza. \u201cThey have one target \u2014 Hamas terrorists in Gaza, their infrastructure, their commanders, bunkers, communication rooms,\u201d he added. \u201cThey are tightening the noose around Gaza City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a televised address to soldiers on Tuesday, Netanyahu claimed the month-long campaign had been an \u201cextraordinary success\u201d, though he referred to \u201cproblems\u201d including drones, improvised explosive devices and anti-tank fire that had inflicted \u201cvery painful losses\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe success is phenomenal because we went in there and hit the enemy,\u201d he said. \u201cWe do not intend to stop. We intend to continue to the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/05ec1912-d077-4ad9-bd14-d17ca297cf67\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
