️Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant:
I hear the drums of war and talk of absolute victory, but this war will be a gamble.
I do not recommend attacking Lebanon right now.
We should agree to a deal that brings back our hostages, even if it happens in stages.
The exchange deal is delayed partly because of Israel, and nothing will change if we step back for two months.

JUST IN: Israeli PM Netanyahu responds to the Defense Minister Gallant:
Complete victory also requires Gallant. And when he adopts anti-Israel rhetoric, he destroys the chances of reaching a deal for the release of the hostages. It would have been more appropriate for him to attack Sinwar, who refuses to send a delegation to the negotiations and remains the only obstacle to the deal.
