Akhbar alyoom- For 100 days, the Israeli occupation has attacked Gaza without a known end date. As the war criminal continues to commit massacres against defenseless civilians, especially women and children.

Despite military failures and massive economic losses, the Israeli occupation persists, as its extremist ministers assert that their military operations in the besieged strip will continue until further notice.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated: 'The war that “Israel” is waging on Gaza will last for several more months.’

Netanyahu addressed on Sunday before the Cabinet vote on amending the 2024 budget to meet the requirements of the war, mentioning that after 100 days since the October 7th attack, 'half of the hostages have been returned.'

He added: 'We do not abandon anyone. We are trying our best to return everyone to their homes with no exception.'

Continuing: 'It is clear that we must manage this war. As it will take several more months, so we are preparing the war budget today.'

The Prime Minister indicated that the war 'involves much larger security expenditures than we had planned for' in the original 2024 budget approved last year.

Netanyahu promised that the budget amendment would also include special grants for reservists and their families, as well as for volunteer combatants.
