- Defense Minister Yoav Zamir said, "We will use all the power at our disposal" to increase operations soon, while polls show most Israelis want the war ended and hostages exchanged.
- The campaign has killed over 50,000 Palestinians and caused humanitarian crisis, while ceasefire talks mediated by Egypt and Qatar remain stalled with both sides blaming each other.
