Tel Aviv, July 23 (LaPresse) – Israeli President Isaac Herzog praised the service of reservists and active-duty soldiers during his first visit to the Gaza Strip since the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, adding that Israel is operating in accordance with international law. This was reported by the Times of Israel. "You are fighting to change reality and bring our hostages home. This is the most urgent mission," he said addressing the military. "Intense negotiations are currently underway, thanks to your actions and those of everyone fighting in the Strip. You will be the ones to bring our hostages home." "We are operating here and providing humanitarian aid in compliance with international law," Herzog stated. "Those who seek to sabotage this aid are Hamas and its militants, willing to do anything to prevent our forces from dismantling infrastructure that could harm us and our civilians," he added.
