ISRAEL: Hostages' families call on government to halt Gaza war expansion plans as IDF calls up tens of thousands of reservists; ■ GAZA: Israeli strikes in Gaza kill 15, Al Mayadeen reports ■ SYRIA: IDF planes deliver humanitarian aid to Druze residents of southern Syria ■ YEMEN: Houthi spokesman said a hypersonic ballistic missile targeted Tel Aviv's airport

For the first time, the cabinet signaled willingness to form a commission but wants legislative changes to how its members are appointed, a process that could take time. The attorney general warned that delaying a probe could harm its effectiveness

The head of Tel Aviv's central Reform congregation, Rabbi Meir Azari, says Israel's leadership is 'incapable of grasping the gravity of the moment.' He warns that if the hostages aren't returned, 'it'll tear Israeli society apart'

The "forceful operation," which includes population evacuation as Netanyahu described it, will begin only if a hostage deal is not reached, an Israeli security official said. Humanitarian aid to Gaza will be restored once the operation starts, he added

Coalition disputes are expected to block efforts to pass a law granting military draft exemptions for Haredi men. Meanwhile, proposed legislation includes bills to limit NGOs, split the attorney general's role, weaken the media and silence academia

The proposed law would block nonprofits' petitions to the High Court and severely cut their funding. Opposition MKs called the bill 'a law for destroying civil society in Israel' and criticized its irony, highlighting Qatargate, where Netanyahu's aides allegedly staged a PR campaign for Qatar

Under the new deal, a planned 3.3% salary cut will instead come from delayed wage increments, and teachers will receive two extra vacation days. Some educators criticized union chief Yaffa Ben-David and vowed to strike on Monday

Although Israel is expected to respond to the missile that struck Ben-Gurion Airport, it's unclear whether the Houthis can be deterred. The simultaneous mass call-up poses a dual test for the military and political leadership
