Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant stated that Hamas no longer exists as a military formation, with its capabilities severely diminished after 11 months of war. Gallant supports a hostage release agreement as part of a three-phase truce deal, viewing it as a strategic opportunity to address broader security challenges. Mediators from the US, Qatar, and Egypt are working towards a ceasefire, though clashes continue in Gaza and Lebanon. The war, which began on October 7, has claimed nearly 41,000 lives, creating a dire humanitarian crisis, including Gaza's first polio case in 25 years.
