will stream his annual remarks from this story when they begin at 9 a.m. EDT.

Netanyahu’s speech comes as Israeli military forces carry out a ground offensive in Gaza City. The renewed attacks started on Sept. 16 with the goal to “destroy Hamas’ military infrastructure,” according to the Israel Defense Forces.

His speech also comes a day after President Donald Trump vowed to prevent Israel from annexing parts of the occupied West Bank: “I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen.”

Some members of the U.N. and the European Union have considered implementing tariffs and sanctions on Israel, pending the recognition of an independent Palestinian nation.

Netanyahu has denied all allegations.
