Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the final outcome of the ongoing conflict should include the release of all Israeli hostages and the surrender of Hamas, aiming to neutralize Gaza as a threat to Israel. Hamas responded by dismissing Netanyahu's claims as a psychological defeat rather than reflecting the reality on the ground, emphasizing that Gaza will not surrender. Hamas further asserted that no hostages will be freed without a deal driven by resistance. Izzat al-Risheq, a member of Hamas's Political Bureau, described Netanyahu's statements as delusional and indicative of a psychological setback following Israel's failure to recover captives militarily. Meanwhile, reports indicate Israeli attacks on vehicles in northern and southern Lebanon. Additionally, the French intelligence chief commented that the Iranian nuclear program has experienced significant delays.
