Netanyahu says latest Gaza military offensive making progress toward 'full control'

Photo by Jim Hollander/UPI | License Photo May 19 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a four-day-old military ground offensive in Gaza was succeeding in bringing Israel closer to controlling the Palestinian enclave. "Intensive and large-scale military activity in Gaza" meant the Israeli military was "moving toward full control of the entire Strip," Netanyahu said as he hit back at criticism from Israel's far-right of his decision to end an 11-week aid-blockade. Netanyahu said he understood their concerns but warned that people starving in Gaza would only derail Israel's war aims of defeating Hamas and getting back the remaining hostages abducted from southern Israel in the Oct. 7 attacks. "It's important to know the facts. We must avoid a situation of famine, both in substance and in perception. If there is famine, we will lose international support and won't be able to achieve victory," Netanyahu said. While this had been the case whenever Israel halted humanitarian aid to prevent it falling into the hands of Hamas, he said Israel was "approaching the red line", with its allies and friends letting him know they "cannot handle images of starvation, of mass starvation." The iron grip delivered by Israel's massive military offensive, codenamed Operation Gideon's Chariot, would, in turn, allow the Israeli military to stop Hamas from stealing the aid being brought in, he added. Netanyahu announced Sunday that Israel would allow in minimal aid, "just enough to prevent hunger." His comments came amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes overnight targeting the Indonesian Hospital and the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza and the city of Khan Yunis in the south, with hospitals saying more than 100 people had been killed in the past day. Israel Defense Forces confirmed it had five divisions, around 50,000 troops, fighting for "complete control" and that it was moving the population out of harm's way. Evacuation orders were issued to residents of Khan Yunis, Bani Suhaila and Abasan governorates Monday morning, warning of an "unprecedented attack to destroy the capabilities of terrorist organizations in this area." "You must evacuate immediately west to the Mawasi [designated humanitarian] area. From this moment, Khan Yunis Governorate will be considered a dangerous combat zone. Terrorist organizations have brought you disaster. For your safety, evacuate immediately," IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee wrote in a post in Arabic on X. The 2.1 million Palestinians living in Gaza were at "critical risk" of famine, according tp the United Nations, while other aid agencies said Israel's aid blockade constituted a starvation policy which could be a war crime.

Armored Vehicles Market Annual Strategy Dossier Report 2024: Strong Global Demand Geared Towards Fleet Recapitalization, Capabilities Advancement and Modernization Amidst Wars in Europe & Middle East
The 'Global Armored Vehicles Market - Top 7 Market Players - Annual Strategy Dossier - 2024 - BAE Systems, General Dynamics, Oshkosh Defense, Rheinmetall, KNDS, Iveco Defense, Hanwha' report has been added to offering. The report analyzes & provides comprehensive insights and detailed analysis into the Global Top 5 Armored Vehicles Manufacturers with focus on a blend of quantitative & qualitative analysis. Strong Global Demand for Combat Vehicles geared towards Fleet Recapitalization, Capabilities Advancement and Modernization The demand for armored vehicles globally has witnessed a strong resurgence over the recent years with the disruption of traditional, rules-based world order and the drastic, unprecedented deterioration in the security environment as the number of ongoing political conflicts reach a new crescendo. The demand for combat vehicles has registered a major surge with their extensive, successful utilization in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The demand has been especially strong for Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs), Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) and Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) across most regions globally as nations scramble to modernize and replace their existing, Cold war-era, in-service fleets with modern platforms featuring state-of-art & cutting edge mobility, firepower and protection capabilities along with digitalization & network connectivity as the backbone while also offering a lower total cost of ownership The modernization, development & induction of next-generation combat vehicles has been a top priority for nations across Europe as the threat of a potential land war with Russia resurges to haunt policymakers given that the capabilities of the defense industrial base across Europe are being resurrected and modernized after decades of neglect. The modernization of British Army's Challenger MBTs to Challenger-3 variant and upgrade of French Leclercs to the Leclerc XLR variant, the slow progress being made on the Franco-German MGCS MBT for future and huge orders for new MBTs and IFVs by nations across Eastern Europe, led by Poland, Romania and Czech Republic, bear testimony to the same. The unveiling of new, concept MBTs featuring next-gen capabilities at the EUROSATORY by KNDS and Rheinmetall showcase the resurging demand and interest in heavy armor amid rapidly altering geopolitical realities. The United States, too, is pursuing a similar pathway with the replacement of M2 Bradleys on the anvil; after the AMPV program which is replacing the M113 APCs and is under full-scale production phase; being a top acquisition priority besides modernization of M1 Abrams to the M1E3 variant. Australia, too, has been under an unprecedented armor renaissance in history with its massive, multi-phase Land 400 program which has so far seen procurement of IFVs, APCs/CRVs and tactical logistics vehicles in significant numbers in contracts worth almost US$10-$12 billion cumulatively Global A&D Market in a Major Upswing Phase amid Disruption of Traditional World Order and Geopolitical Tensions & Conflicts Global defense spending, clearly, is on an upward growth trajectory, driven by geopolitical shifts, and is projected to reach $2.5 trillion by 2025, thereby, providing the defense industrial bases across most key markets significant growth opportunities for the medium term horizon as it is desperately trying to ramp-up production rates over near term amid supply chain constraints to backfill depleting U.S. & NATO allies' stockpiles of munitions, missiles & weapon systems besides fulfilling Ukraine's critical requirements and to meet growing international demand in the era of great power competition. The U.S. Defense Budget continues to be in a growth phase and is pegged at $833 billion for FY2025 as the focus remains on strategic rivalry with China, supporting allies, namely, Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and backing technological advancements as the core pivot amid near-term political uncertainty over the upcoming U.S. Presidential elections Global Economy Heading towards Slowdown The global economy, however, is projected to be heading towards a slowdown in 2024 following continued monetary policy tightening posture by central banks globally over the recent years to check high inflation. The situation has been further compounded by the sustained geopolitical instability led by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the Israeli military operations in Gaza & escalation of tensions with Iran as well as Hezbollah and continued Houthi attacks on commercial shipping which have already raised freight rates and come a double whammy for the global economy which has already regressed to its range-bound, typical, average movement of under 3% annually. However, any further, major potential shocks at this time threaten to send the global economy spiraling down into a recessionary cycle For Whom: Key Decision-Makers across Industry Value Chain Key Decision-Makers across the Aerospace & Defense Industry Defense Procurement Executives & Defense Departments Program Offices & Program Managers Top Management of Industry OEMs, Players across Industry Value Chain & Other Companies Suppliers, Vendors, Technology & Services Providers and other Key Players in the Industry Value Chain Existing & Potential Investors Industry & Company Analysts M&A Advisory Firms Strategy & Management Consulting Firms PE Firms, Venture Capitalists and Financing & Leasing Companies Researchers and all those associated with the industry in general Key Topics Covered: Section 1 - Business Structure & Snapshot - For each of the Global Top 7 Armored Vehicles Manufacturers Founded Headquartered Business Segments Employees Revenues Market Capitalization Key Executives Shareholding/Ownership Pattern & Structure Section 2 - Financial Performance Snapshot - For each Industry OEM Revenue Base & Growth Trend Revenues Split by Key Segments Revenues Split by Key Geographic Markets & Regions Gross Earnings & Margin Trend Operating Earnings & Operating Margin Trend Return on Sales Trend Profitability Growth Trend Cash Flow from Operations R&D Expenditure Trend CAPEX Trend Order Intake Trend Order Backlog Position & Growth Trend Section 3 - SWOT Analysis - For each of the Top 7 Industry Players Strengths to be Leveraged Weaknesses to be worked on Opportunities to be capitalized upon Threats to be negated & mitigated Section 4 - Strategy Focus across OEMs - Near to Medium Term - For the Top 7 Armored Vehicles Manufacturers GDLS & GDELS BAE Systems plc Oshkosh Corporation Rheinmetall AG KNDS Iveco Defense Hanwha Aerospace Section 5 - Analysis of Key Strategies & Plans for the Armored Vehicles Manufacturers Business and Product Portfolio Strategies & Plans Market, Segment, Domain & Program Specific Strategies & Plans R&D Strategies & Plans Growth Strategies & Plans Business and Corporate Strategies & Plans Sales & Marketing Strategies & Plans Production/Manufacturing Strategies & Plans Financial Strategies & Plans Acquisitions, Strategic Alliances & JVs Other Strategies & Strategic Initiatives Section 6 - Global Armored Vehicles Market - Force Field Analysis - Analysis of Driving & Restraining Forces and their Overall Dynamics Driving Forces Restraining Forces Section 7 - Key Industry Trends Section 8 - Key Market Trends Section 9 - Key Technology Trends Section 10 - Key Issues, Challenges & Risk Factors Section 11 - Key Armored Vehicles Programs - Underway, Upcoming & Emerging Programs North America Europe Asia-Pacific Section 12 - Strategic Market Outlook - Global Armored Vehicles Market Analysis of the Emerging Market Scenario for Armored Vehicles Global Defense Spending - Trends & Growth Projections Top 5 Defense Spending Nations & Defense Budgetary Trends Key Growth & Technology Investment Priority Areas Key Upcoming Armored Vehicle Programs Emerging Technologies Market Outlook & Demand Growth Projections for Armored Vehicles - 2024-2033 For more information about this report visit is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.
