Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims that the Israeli army is in the midst of a comprehensive military confrontation with the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip.
He also said that the demonstration by the Arab Monitoring Committee against the Nation-State Law is conclusive proof of the challenges facing Israel.
“I will not reveal the operational plans of the army,” Netanyahu said, according to the PNN, during Sunday’s session with Likud ministers. “But, I can confirm the plans are ready and present for any scenario.”
“With the escalation on the southern front, there is an exchange of blows and it will not end in a single blow,” Netanyahu continued. “Our demand is clear, a complete ceasefire and we will not accept less.”
Encouraging incitement among the Arab masses in the country, Netanyahu talked about the demonstrations to remove the Nation-State Law, saying that the protestors want to turn Israel into a Palestinian State.
“Flags of the Palestine Liberation Organization have been raised in the heart of Tel Aviv and we have heard calls: ‘in blood and fire we need you, Palestine.’ Now, it is clearer than ever that the Nation-State Law is necessary to ensure Israel’s future as a Jewish state.”
Netanyahu’s remarks came before the cabinet meeting on security and political affairs, which will be held this afternoon. The meeting is in order to discuss military escalation on the southern front and to discuss the ceasefire proposal for the Palestinian factions in Gaza.
The Israeli military recommended that it continue its operations and stand ready for any emergency on the southern front, in addition to the continued assault onthe so-called “cells” that fire kites and balloons, at the Gaza envelope.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza released a report on Saturday showing new statistics regarding the number of Palestinians killed and injured since the start of "The Great March of Return" protests in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The report showed that Israeli forces shot and killed a total of 167 Palestinians and injured over 18,000 others since the start of "The Great March of Return" protests on March 30th.
The new statistics come after three Palestinians were killed with live bullets fired by Israeli forces on Friday during the 20th "Great March of Return" protests in Gaza.
The ministry confirmed that a paramedic was one of the three killed Palestinians which raised the total number of medics that have been killed by Israeli forces to three.
The report added that 370 paramedics were injured.
Several injured Palestinians were in critical condition, while many others suffered from tear gas inhalation.
Additionally, a total of about 70 ambulances were damaged.
The report released by the ministry clearly showed that Israeli forces intentionally targeted Palestinians on Friday with the intention to kill since the injuries were caused by various types of live ammunition and were aimed at specific parts of the body.
Twenty-eight children were among the 307 Palestinians injured during the Friday protests, five were medics, and two were journalists.
Over the past four months of the on-going Gaza protests, human rights organizations have come out in full condemnation of Israel's violent response to massive unarmed civilian protests.
Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights, released a statement condemning Israel's use of military snipers against the civilian protesters.
Adalah said that "the Israeli military's use of 100 snipers against unarmed Palestinian civilian protesters in the Gaza Strip is illegal," the statement said, adding "live gunfire on unarmed civilians constitutes a brutal violation of the international legal obligation to distinguish between civilians and combatants."
B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, stressed that "fragments of information reported by the media indicate that: soldiers will be ordered to shoot anyone coming within 300 meters of the fence; snipers will fire at anyone touching it; live fire will be used also in circumstances which are non-life-threatening. In other words: shoot-to-kill unarmed Palestinians taking part in these demonstrations."

Tensions have been running high near the fence since March 30, which marked the start of a series of protests dubbed “The Great March of Return.” Palestinian protesters demand the right to return for those driven out of their homeland.
The clashes in Gaza reached their peak on May 14, the eve of the 70th anniversary of Nakba Day, or the Day of Catastrophe, which coincided this year with Washington's relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.
Israeli fire has taken the lives of nearly 160 Palestinians since March 30. Nearly 15,000 Palestinians have also sustained injuries, of whom at least 360 are reportedly in critical condition.
On June 13, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution, sponsored by Turkey and Algeria, condemning Israel for Palestinian civilian deaths in the Gaza Strip.
Gaza has been under Israeli siege since June 2007, causing a decline in living standards as well as unprecedented unemployment and poverty.
Israel has also launched several wars on the Palestinian sliver, the last of which began in early July 2014 and ended in late August the same year. The Israeli military aggression killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians and injured over 11,100 others.
