Speaking to various outlets, Netanyahu clarified that while Israel plans to &quot;take control of all of Gaza,&quot; it does not intend to permanently govern the territory. The long-term objective is to transfer control to non-Hamas civilian authorities, aiming to &quot;free Gaza from Hamas&#39;s awful terror.&quot; This stance comes amid ongoing conflict, with Israeli air defenses intercepting rockets launched from Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu&#39;s proposed full occupation of Gaza has reportedly faced internal opposition and concerns from within Israel&#39;s defense establishment, including warnings about potential risks to remaining hostages and the operation becoming a &quot;strategic trap.&quot; Despite these qualms and international pressure, the Prime Minister is reportedly pushing for the move, which would be a significant reversal of Israel&#39;s 2005 policy of disengagement from the enclave.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on the economic front, Atlanta Federal Reserve President <strong>Raphael Bostic<\/strong> provided insights into the U.S. monetary policy outlook, projecting only <strong>one interest rate cut<\/strong> this year. Bostic stressed that any decision on rate adjustments would be contingent on the incoming economic data, particularly ahead of the <strong>Federal Open Market Committee&#39;s (FOMC)<\/strong> September meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Bostic voiced heightened concerns regarding the <strong>labor market<\/strong>, indicating that recent jobs data show &quot;higher risks&quot; than those observed before the last FOMC meeting. He described the current economic environment as &quot;very difficult&quot; for policy decisions. The Fed official also highlighted the need for the central bank to closely monitor the impact of <strong>Treasury bond issuance<\/strong> and the rising <strong>federal debt<\/strong> on market liquidity. Bostic anticipates that increased market fluctuations will continue, advising that the Fed needs to watch how these factors evolve over the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed Israel&#39;s intention to take full control of the Gaza Strip to dismantle
