Trump says 'war is over' after Netanyahu claims 'campaign not over'

US President Donald Trump has insisted that Israel's war on Gaza has ended, despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggesting that the military campaign on the Palestinian enclave will continue.

Late on Sunday, Netanyahu released a statement marking the prisoner exchange taking place on Monday between Israel and Hamas, which he called a "historic event".

"Wherever we fought, we won," he said. "But I must tell you at the same time, the campaign is not over. We still have major security challenges ahead of us."

Netanyahu made further claims that "some of our enemies are trying to regroup and attack us again", insisting that Israel will take on these challenges. 

Similarly, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz posted on X on Sunday: "Israel's great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas's terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States."
