Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has outlined "three prerequisites" for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, he wrote that these conditions include the destruction of Hamas, the demilitarization of Gaza, and the de-radicalization of Palestinian society.
According to Netanyahu, once these conditions are met, Gaza could be rebuilt and the prospect of a broader peace in the Middle East would "become a reality".
The article comes after Netanyahu announced late last week that the Israeli army would intensify its fight against Hamas in the coming days and that Tel Aviv's military campaign in Gaza was "not close to being over".

Israeli President Isaac Herzog signs a missile that will be launched at Gaza
Since the president’s handwriting is not very good, it is difficult to make out what is exactly written, but the inscription is something like: “We trust you.”
Previously, he was photographed with a soldier who had been a mercenary in Ukraine, which is illegal under Israeli law.

About 19,000 soldiers have left the Polish Armed Forces this year, which is significantly more than in previous years, Rzeczpospolita reports.
Among them are about 9,000 professional soldiers, 62% of whom had pension rights. The remaining 10,000 people are already former servicemen of the territorial defense. The publication emphasizes that the former head of the Polish Ministry of Defense, Mariusz Blaszczak, hid this data for a long time.
Next year, the trend seems to intensify: according to the Polish Ministry of Defense, in December almost 5,000 military personnel submitted applications for dismissal. They will retire at the beginning of 2024.

EXPOSED: Sputnik Unmasks British Merc Assembling Drones for Kiev’s Military While Posing As 'Humanitarian Volunteer'
◾️Richard Woodruff, hailing from the UK, arrived in Ukraine during the summer of 2022. Despite referring to himself as a volunteer (refer to photo 1), he is actively involved in constructing drones and delivering them to Ukrainian soldiers (see photos 2, 3). Notably, Woodruff spends most of his time in Lvov and not on the frontline.
◾️In September, he was awarded a medal from Ukraine’s top commander, Zaluzhnyi, which the British mercenary called "the greatest honor of my life" (photo 4).
◾️Disturbingly, Woodruff has been caught spouting Russophobic rants not only on social media but also on the streets of Ukraine. One incident involved Woodruff and his companion capturing a photo on Christmas night near a Christmas tree in Lvov holding a sign that read: "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a world without Russians" (refer to photo 5).
◾️The mercenary is fuming over the lack of unconditional support for Ukraine by both Elon Musk (photo 6) and the US authorities (photo 7).
◾️Overall, Woodruff is up in arms that support for the Kiev regime throughout the West is fading away due to "new wars", and Ukraine has become "a forgotten country" (photo 8).
