23:05 p.m. - Macron clarified: I did not imply that the IDF deliberately harms civilians
France issued a clarification on Macron's remarks this morning, saying: "President Macron has not implied, and does not think, that Israeli forces are deliberately targeting civilians. He consistently referred to Hamas' use of abductees or civilians as "unacceptable blackmail."
The statement added: "While the President is aware of Israel's efforts to prevent collateral damage and facilitate humanitarian access, he believes more could be done given the dire humanitarian situation of Gaza's civilian population. He therefore believes that a humanitarian pause, and ultimately a ceasefire, is necessary to help Gaza's civilian population receive the assistance it needs."

22:18 PM - Netanyahu on why he did not meet with all the families of the abductees: "I am waging the war"
Netanyahu said this evening at the press conference in response to a question from Walla! Why he didn't meet with all the families of the abductees: "I met three times with some of the families. I wage the war around the clock. I sleep a few hours a night, and I'm mobilized for one mission – to achieve victory. I meet with as much as possible. You can't meet with everyone. Maybe after the war, after we bring them back,"
in response to a question about calls to renew settlement in Gush Katif, Netanyahu said: "This is not a realistic goal and I say it as clearly as possible."
Minister Benny Gantz said in response to a question from Walla! What will be the exit point from the government: "When ten members of my family were drafted into the campaign on Black Saturday, I realized that my place was within the government. I'm aware of all kinds of exercises and games in all kinds of places. But our presence together is important." Gantz said this against the backdrop of Smotrich's insistence on transferring coalition funds.

Netanyahu ruled out the possibility of the Palestinian Authority ruling Gaza
Netanyahu said at a press conference tonight on the future of control of Gaza: "There will be no civilian authority there that educates their children to hate Israel, to kill Israelis, to eliminate Israel. There cannot be an authority there that pays the families of murderers. There can be no authority whose leader has not yet condemned the massacre. There will have to be something else there, but in any case our security control. I stand by it and don't intend to give up.
Netanyahu refused to elaborate on the contacts for the release of hostages, and whether they include soldiers: "We can make one fundamental mistake, to talk here about the conditions for the release of hostages. This is a terrible mistake. We're talking here – we're exposing cards. We don't do that. We will do what is necessary to bring them back with wisdom and determination, and wisdom says, 'Don't talk about it here.'"
Regarding Minister Eliyahu's statement about the possibility of dropping an atomic bomb on Gaza, Netanyahu said that his remarks were "wrong things, detached from reality, that do not reflect policy. I reprimanded him and suspended him, and if he does it again he won't be in the government."
21:57 p.m. - Gallant: Hezbollah plays with fire
Defense Minister Yoav Galant said at a press conference this evening: "The objectives in Gaza are clear, the missions are defined and the IDF is carrying out its mission. Hamas is under great pressure right now, and it is increasing. They hear the tanks and bulldozers and know they will reach them. The deeper the maneuver, the higher the pressure Hamas is under and the greater the chances of reaching the abductees."
Regarding the northern arena, Gallant said: "Provocations turned into aggression. Hezbollah is playing with fire. Our forces are prepared for any mission. The Air Force directs the hieroglyphs to the north. The citizens of Lebanon should know that if Nasrallah makes a mistake, the fate of Beirut could be the same as that of Gaza."
