The “intensive” phase of Israel’s offensive in Gaza will soon end, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday — but he signaled he would only accept a “partial” cease-fire deal that would not end the war, and that this new phase would allow a shift in focus to the simmering conflict on the country’s northern border with Lebanon.

According to Bibi…

And in the same breathe saying he doesn’t want to end the war.
Bibi is facing calls from the left and right in his country to stop stalling the election. If an election happens, he’s not going to win.
So he’s going to keep this war going as long as possible. And is blatantly saying any slow down in Gaza would be to increase attacks on Lebanon.
It’s literally the only thing keeping him in office, because war is his only excuse for not letting Israelis hold a vote.
