Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that the war in Gaza against militants of Hamas will not stop until the end but a United Nations worker in the coastal strip said that the safety of Palestinians cannot be guaranteed, as per a Reuters report.  

Netanyahu made the remark during his visit to Israeli troops in northern Gaza on Monday. He told the lawmakers from his Likud party that the war was far from over and dismissed what he cast as media speculation his government might call a halt to the fighting.

“We are not stopping. The war will continue until the end, until we finish it, no less,” said the Israeli PM during his Gaza visit, according to the report.

‘Human Chess Board’ 

Gemma Connell, a UN team leader deployed in Gaza for several weeks said that there is no guarantee that a destination will be safe for thousands of Palestinians, displaced many times already, describing the situation as a “human chess board”. 

“There’s so little space left here in Rafah that people just don’t know where they will go and it really feels like people are being moved around a human chessboard because there’s an evacuation order somewhere,” Connell, who on Monday visited the Deir al-Balah neighbourhood in central Gaza.
