This is the best summary I could come up with:
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday afternoon, Mr Netanyahu said he would be “back very soon” after his surgery and repeated his defiant message that Israel would destroy Hamas.
The Israeli prime minister promised the planned operation in Rafah would go ahead, regardless of international objections, including from Washington, saying that it was “the only way to defeat Hamas”.
Mr Netanyahu added that he was doing everything he could to bring hostages seized by Hamas on 7 October back to Israel, and claimed that the recent Israeli strike on al Shifa hospital had “killed more than 200 terrorists”.
Israel’s military later said it carried out an airstrike against a command centre operated by the armed group Islamic Jihad and killed a senior militant, but did not mention his name or rank.
Israel says over one-third of the dead are militants, though it has not provided evidence in support, and blames Hamas for civilian casualties because the group operates in residential areas.
Earlier this week the World Court unanimously ordered Israel, which is accused by South Africa of genocide in Gaza, to take all necessary and effective action to ensure basic food supplies reach the territory’s population, which is teetering on the brink of famine.
