US President Donald Trump reiterated his pledge to help deliver food to Palestinians in Gaza when asked at the White House on Monday about Israel's intention to launch a large-scale attack on the Strip.

Trump did not express his opinion on the Israeli operations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier Monday that the new offensive on Gaza would be an intensive military operation aimed at defeating the Palestinian Hamas movement, but he did not specify the extent of territory Israel would control in the Strip.

"The residents will be moved for their own safety," Netanyahu added in a video posted on the X platform. He stated that Israeli soldiers will not enter Gaza, launch raids, and then withdraw. "The intention is the opposite," he continued.

Netanyahu explained: "We sat down late last night in the cabinet and decided to carry out a powerful operation in Gaza. This was the chief of staff's recommendation, to proceed, as he said, to defeat Hamas. He believes this will also help us free the hostages, and I agree with him."

He continued, "We will not back down from this effort, and we will not abandon anyone. This is what we are doing." He concluded, "We will not discuss the details, because we have already discussed the details on both issues: what we are doing for the hostages, and what we are doing to defeat Hamas."
