Israel will soon begin military operations in Gaza - Smotrich

The occupying Israeli army will soon begin its military operations in Gaza, the terror state's finance minister Bezalel Smotrich said.

"I am confident that Israel will resume hostilities after the first phase of the prisoner exchange is completed in March," he said.

He noted that Trump does not intend to prevent Israel from returning to war. On the contrary, the new US government may allow the Zionists to move as they wish in Palestine.

For your information, a ceasefire regime came into effect in the Gaza Strip on January 19 of this year.
