Israeli media reporting GPS disruptions in Tel Aviv

Netanyahu says ‘increasing military pressure’ the only solution in Gaza

Israel’s PM Netanyahu has remained defiant on his approach towards Gaza, saying that “only increasing the military pressure” on Hamas will “result in the achievement of all the war’s goals”.

“Iran and its detractors seek to surround us with a stranglehold of terror. We are determined to stand against them on every front and in every arena – far and near. Anyone who hurts us will pay a very heavy price.”

G7 foreign ministers urge de-escalation

Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said his counterparts in the G7 called on all parties involved in the current conflict in the Middle East to avoid actions that could lead to an escalation.

A statement said that during a videoconference chaired by Tajani, the G7 ministers expressed “strong concern about the recent events that could lead to a wider regional spread of the crisis, starting with Lebanon”.

“We call on the parties concerned to desist from any initiative that could hinder the path of dialogue and moderation and encourage a new escalation.”

The statement from the G7 meeting also called for the conclusion of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and the release of captives there, as well as reaffirming the G7 countries’ commitment to intensifying humanitarian aid to the people of the Palestinian enclave.

The G7 countries are the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy and Japan.

You could urge de-escalation by stopping to arm Israel and forcing them into a ceasefire... Clearly Netanyahu only has interest in escalating further and dragging the US into a full scale war.
