Israel Headlines US supports Israel's war goal to eliminate Hamas from Gaza Israel's position that Hamas must be ousted from Gaza is appropriate, US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Thursday as he stressed that Palestinian civilians in the Strip must be protected. “They [Israel] want a situation where Hamas can never again govern and run Gaza in the way it has,” Miller told reporters in Washington. “They want to ensure that Gaza is not a place where Hamas can continue to exist and launch terror attacks against Israel, which we believe is a legitimate and appropriate position that any country would take,” Miller said. (Jerusalem Post) Top officials say Gaza ground offensive ‘soon,’ warn it will be ‘long and intense’ Defense Minister Gallant, PM Netanyahu and IDF general pay visits to troops on frontlines as military awaits order; security cabinet convenes as airstrikes, rocket attacks continue. (Times of Israel) In Oval Office speech, Biden urges Congress to boost military aid for Israel, Ukraine US president links deadly assault by Hamas to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, noting both receive Iranian support and ‘want a neighboring democracy completely annihilated’.

(Times of Israel) Government sets up NIS 1 billion fund to rehab shattered Gaza border region Tekuma (Revival) administration intended to rebuild destroyed areas and improve government trust; lawmakers ask for NIS 13 billion in coalition kickback coffer to be chipped in. (Times of Israel) Three out of four Americans support Israel in war against Hamas - poll Most American voters blamed Hamas for the current war at 72%; 10% blamed Israel alone, 6% blamed both equally, and a final 12% didn't give an opinion. (Jerusalem Post) Israelis want PM Netanyahu to take responsibility for October 7 - poll The Prime Minister has yet to make a statement holding himself accountable for the security failures that gave way to Hamas' attack on the South. (Jerusalem Post) Gallant starts to frame Israeli plans for post-war Gaza future Yoav Gallant made it clearer than any prior official that Israel will not, or does not want to reconquer and permanently occupy Gaza. (Jerusalem Post) Israel Evacuates City Near Lebanon Border as It Hits Scores of Targets in Gaza Israel ordered the evacuation of a city close to the Lebanese border, reflecting the Israeli military’s growing concern that a second front could open up to the north as it continues its bombing campaign in Gaza, including a strike on a church compound overnight. (Wall Street Journal) Israel Is Officially in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program Effective Immediately Israel's entry was supposed to begin November 30, though the process has been expedited amid Congressional pressure due to visa processing being suspended at the U.S. Embassy in Israel following the Hamas attack. (Haaretz) Hamas Took Her Son The fate of those hostages is at the center of a deepening crisis in the Middle East, and a looming ground invasion of Gaza. Today, we hear from the mother of one of these hostages. (The New York Times)
