Over the weekend, 14 Israeli soldiers lost their lives in the ongoing conflict in Gaza, bringing the total Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) casualties to 152 since the ground operation's commencement on October 20. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke with US President Biden, emphasizing Israel's commitment to pursuing the war until all objectives are met. The US anticipates a shift to lower-intensity fighting, targeting Hamas leadership and infrastructure. Despite the UN's failure to call for a humanitarian ceasefire, a resolution for increased aid to Gaza was passed. The conflict's toll includes over 20,000 deaths in Gaza and 1,200 in Israel.
