According to several media reports, Hamas might release another 50 hostages. Red Cross representatives are allegedly on their way to Gaza to take out the hostages with dual nationalities, they claimed. Tel Aviv on Monday increased the number of hostages it has confirmed to 222 people. Israel's army said it was preparing for "unrelenting attacks" to dismantle Hamas even as former US President Barack Obama warned that "any Israeli military strategy that ignores human costs could ultimately backfire". Israel will not delay its ground invasion of Gaza because of hostages, Energy Minister Israel Katz told German tabloid Bild. He added that all measures would be taken to bring the hostages home. “But this will not impede our actions, including ground attacks, if we decide to do so,” he said. Sponsored by VUUKLE

Israel says Hamas killed 1,400 people in the worst attack in Israel's 75-year history. Gaza's health ministry said the death toll in Gaza had risen to more than 5,000, and Israeli forces said they had carried out more than 300 new attacks in 24 hours on Monday. The death toll included more than 2,000 children, according to the Health Ministry. The European Union (EU) is considering calling for a humanitarian halt to the war between Israel and Hamas. French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Tel Aviv today to express "complete solidarity" with Israel. A Hamas attack on Saturday killed 30 French citizens. The United States warned that a ceasefire in Gaza would help Hamas, AFP reported. “A ceasefire will give Hamas an opportunity to rest, re-equip, and prepare for continued terrorist attacks against Israel,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. President Joe Biden said that any discussions about a Gaza ceasefire could only take place if Hamas frees all hostages seized from Israel in its October 7 attack. "We should have those hostages released and then we can talk," Biden said at a White House event when asked if he would support a "hostages-for-ceasefire" deal, AFP reported. Comments
