Prime Minister Netanyahu in an address to the nation said. “We fight until victory. We will not stop the war until we complete all its goals: the completion of the elimination of Hamas, and the release of all our hostages. The choice I offer to Hamas is very simple: surrender or die. They don’t have and won’t have any other choice. And after we eliminate Hamas, I will work with all my might to ensure that Gaza no longer poses any threat to Israel. Neither Hamastan nor Fatahstan.”

Israel War Update – Day 64
Margalit Mozes, who was released as part of the abductees’ deal, spoke for the first time at a rally in the “Hostages Square” in Tel Aviv. She said, “On October 7, they took me down to the tunnel, I use a breathing apparatus at night, and I took it with me so I could sleep and the one who was there got angry at me, and took the device—it was a very difficult moment. I told him it was my oxygen, and I spoke to him in Arabic. He understood me very well, but he didn’t care. A doctor who saw me at first told me to lean my head against the wall like this, and that I could breathe like this. I could breathe like this but not fall asleep. I didn’t sleep for 49 days.”
