The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been ongoing, with a recent development in Israel's War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz resigning from the emergency government. Gantz cited differences with Prime Minister Netanyahu as the reason for his resignation, calling for early elections to establish a strong government capable of addressing the country's challenges.
He emphasized the importance of lawful protests and unity among Israelis, stating that their true enemies are outside their borders. In another event, four Israeli citizens were released from Hamas's captivity, eliciting joy from Israel's President Isaac Herzog. The IDF conducted a successful rescue operation, freeing Noa Argamani, Almog Meir, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv after months in captivity.
Herzog expressed gratitude to the involved parties and conveyed hope for the nation's resilience. The rescue operation, which resulted in 94 casualties, was marked by large-scale violence and tragic loss of life, including children.
