No truce in sight in Gaza . Unless Hamas releases the Israeli hostages. Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated this, also stating that Israel - once the war is over - will have "general responsibility for the security of the Strip for an indefinite period".

«Because we have seen what happens when we don't have it – he explained -. When we do not have this security responsibility, we see the explosion of Hamas terror on a scale we could not imagine." The statements in an interview given to ABC News: "As for the small breaks - an hour here, an hour there - we have already had them", he then added.

But Israel's choices do not convince everyone. The result is a new clash with the UN secretary general, Antonio Guterres : "Gaza is becoming a children's cemetery", said the head of the United Nations. Harsh words that infuriated Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, who reacted on Twitter: «Shame on you! (Shame on you)».

"More than 30 minors - including a 9-month-old baby, but also children and teenagers who witnessed the cold-blooded killings of their parents - are being held in the Gaza Strip against their will." Then he added: “Hamas is the problem in Gaza, not Israel.”

In the evening, a rocket alert was raised in Tel Aviv from Gaza. The army said it was the largest attack in central Israel up to the town of Raanana.
