Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the intense phase of fighting in Rafah is coming to a close. However, he has also issued a warning of potential war on Lebanon as Israel deploys additional troops to the northern border in order to address the threat posed by the militant group Hezbollah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address the US Congress on July 24th. During his speech, he will discuss his vision for achieving peace in the region, according to US lawmakers.

President Joe Biden has suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be prolonging the conflict in Gaza for his own political gain. In an interview with Time magazine, Biden stated that there is "every reason" to believe that Netanyahu is motivated by self-preservation. These comments have sparked a strong reaction from the Israeli government, which criticized Biden for straying from diplomatic norms. Pressure is mounting on Netanyahu to support a ceasefire plan in Gaza as the conflict continues to escalate. The situation remains tense as the international community calls for an end to the violence. Biden's remarks have added a new dimension to the already complex dynamics of the conflict in the region.
