American diplomat: Netanyahu does not seem ready to reach any agreement to stop the war. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that Israel must defeat the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and destroy it.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant pledged, during his meeting with the families of Israeli detainees, to continue military pressure. Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation army has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which led to the death of more than 29,000 people.
