Israel at war day 537

- Israel Defense establishment estimates: Food, water, and fuel will run out in Gaza - within two months

- Trump: The Houthis want peace now, We have bombed them heavily, and now they are begging for peace. We hit them hard, with success beyond our expectations, and we will continue to strike them for a long time

- After two rockets were fired from Gaza, one intercepted, one landing near Zimra, the IDF issued a final evacuation warning for parts of Gaza City, including Zeitoun, Tel al-Hawa, and Sheikh Ijlin. Palestinians are urged to move south via the coastal road. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility.

- Egyptian sources to Al Arabi Al Jadid: All proposals to continue the hostage/ceasefire deal presented by Egypt in recent days have failed.

- Prime Minister Netanyahu in the Knesset: "The fighting in Gaza continues. The more Hams persists in its refusal to release our hostages, the more powerful the pressure we will exert will be. And I say to Hams - this includes seizing territory and other things that I will not detail here."

- Israel Defense Minister Katz:  "The only way to stop the war is to demand the removal of Hams from Gaza and the release of the hostages. The IDF will soon operate with massive power in additional areas in Gaza - the plans are ready and approved. Hams will make you lose more and more territory that will be added to the Israeli defense system."

- Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says Israel has not ruled out negotiating a ceasefire extension with the Hamas terror group in Gaza, but that there is limited time to do so

- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had received warnings that Qatari money was being transferred into the Gaza Strip to fund Hamas in the years before October 7, according to a Tuesday N12 report.  According to the report, Netanyahu had received at least two warnings regarding where the Qatari money was being transferred to, which was found to be sent into the Gaza Strip.

- Hamas, in a statement regarding the wave of demonstrations in Gaza, said, "We call on you to be vigilant and cautious against any attempt to divert the protest to threaten national cohesion, drive a wedge between members of one people, and incite against the resistance. Israel is waiting and striving to plan plots against our people, export its crises to us, and push the fireball into our internal arena."
