Israel plans a further offensive on Gaza, described by Netanyahu as Hamas's 'last bastion'. A full-scale ground operation isn't anticipated for several weeks, pending civilian evacuations. Separately, a pro-Palestinian flotilla, including Greta Thunberg, departed for Gaza, aiming to challenge Israel's blockade. Thunberg condemned Israel's actions, accusing them of genocidal intent and urging international intervention to prevent what she sees as a genocide.
