Ahead of tomorrow's political-security Cabinet discussion regarding the continuation of the war in Gaza, a senior Israeli official stated that "the direction is conquest, but until tomorrow God is great - in the Middle East things can change." Five hours have been allocated for the discussion, from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, but it will likely continue into the night. MK Aryeh Deri cut short his vacation in Switzerland and will return to Israel to participate in the discussion. Senior government officials estimate that any proposal brought by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will receive majority support.
