- The Israeli offensive in Gaza, termed 'Operation Gideon's Chariots', risks leading to a full occupation of the Gaza Strip.
- Seventy percent of Israelis believe Netanyahu's military strategy is misguided and contrary to their long-term interests.
- The operation aims to weaken Hamas while forcing the population of Gaza south, effectively resulting in military occupation.
- This trajectory may shift based on political dynamics and the influence of external actors like Donald Trump.
What do you call a reality in which there is a military presence, checkpoints and supervised funnelling of aid? That’s right: occupation.— Alon Pinkas, former Israeli consul general to the US and political adviser to two former prime ministers, Shimon Peres and Ehud Barak.

- The Israeli Air Force conducted strikes on Houthi targets as Trump unexpectedly announced a truce without consulting Israel.
- The Houthis declared they would continue to target Israel, jeopardizing Israel's position in the region.
- Experts expressed concerns that the truce would allow the Houthis to regroup and launch new attacks against Israel.
- Trump's decision to halt attacks on the Houthis may signal Israel's isolation in its confrontation with Iran.
The unexpected announcement by Trump that the Houthis are in fact capitulating would be a major victory and powerful affirmation of Trump’s instincts in wielding US power.— John Hannah, senior fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) and former national security adviser to US Vice President Dick Cheney.
