Decisive Hour in Gaza: Netanyahu’s ‘Clean Sweep’ or Diplomatic Deal?

International News: The Gaza Strip is once again in the grip of the fierce military operation of the Israeli army. This time it is being described as 'rampd-up campaign' i.e. more aggressive military operations. On the one hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is talking about taking the battle to a decisive turn, on the other hand, diplomatic talks are also going on between Hamas and Israel in Qatar regarding the release of ceasefire and hostages.
