US Secretary of State Marco Rubio:
Hamas continues to deprive the people of Gaza of the humanitarian aid they desperately need. This theft undermines international efforts in support of President Trump’s 20 Point Plan to deliver critical assistance to innocent civilians.
Hamas is the impediment. They must lay down their arms and stop their looting so that Gaza can have a brighter future.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Sunday, 2 November 2025), at the start of the Government meeting [translated from Hebrew]:
"I wish to speak about our struggle against the elements of the axis. The Iranian axis suffered a massive blow. We broke it in many places, and even where we broke it, it still exists, licking its wounds, trying to recover. Our effort is to deny it the ability to recover, and this is what we are doing on the various fronts.
The first front is in Gaza, where Hamas suffered crushing blows; it is a shadow of what it once was, but it is also trying to recover. We are operating on four focal points. One – returning our hostages. Their attempts are pathetic, trying to mislead us, the US, and the world; they will, of course, not succeed, and we will gradually bring back all of our hostages. We are committed to this.
Second – there are still Hamas pockets in the areas under our control in Gaza, and we are systematically eliminating them. There are two in Rafah and in Khan Yunis, and they will be eliminated.
Third is the entire question of risk to our forces, and my directive is unequivocal: If there is an attempt to harm our forces, we strike those who inflict the harm and also their organization, for the purpose of protecting our forces. This is what we have determined.
We report to our American friends; we do not ask for their permission. This must be understood because I hear things that are simply incorrect. We maintain the supreme security responsibility, and we will not relinquish it.
Fourth is the disarmament and demilitarization of Hamas. Disarming Hamas, demilitarizing the Gaza Strip is the principle we uphold. This is the principle agreed upon between me and President Trump. This is how we operate, according to a clear plan. Of course, if this is not done in the first way, then it will be done in the second way, and everyone knows what the second way is and who will also carry it out.
Regarding Lebanon – Hezbollah is indeed taking hits all the time, including in these very days, but it is also trying to arm itself and recover. We expect the Lebanese government to do what it committed to do, namely to disarm Hezbollah, but it is clear that we will exercise our right to self-defense as stipulated in the ceasefire conditions. We will not allow Lebanon to become a renewed front against us and will act as necessary.
The third place that attention should be paid to, which the Israeli public does not notice, is the Houthis. The Houthis appear to be a negligible nuisance. From time to time, they fire a ballistic missile at us; we intercept these missiles. This looks like a small matter. It is not a small matter; it is a very great threat from a movement that is fanatical, in the most extreme way imaginable, that has its own production capability for ballistic missiles and other weapons as well, and it is committed to what they call 'The Program for the Destruction of Israel.' This is not theoretical; this is something that can develop over time. It is, of course, coordinated with Iran, and we will do everything necessary to eliminate this threat as well. In other words, we are still operating against an axis that, even though it is broken and beaten, is trying to renew its plans for the destruction of Israel. We will, to say the least, deny it the capabilities to do so".

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar;
"108 years ago today, the Balfour Declaration was signed: in this declaration, the British government recognized the historical right of the Jewish people to build its national home, a right that extended to the entire territory of “Mandatory Palestine.”
The historic right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and their right to live anywhere in the Land of Israel - the birthplace of the Jewish people - is indisputable.
108 years ago, the British government also recognized this right."

Ex-hostage, Maxim Harkin, explains actual starvation.
“Because of starvation our sense of smell became something inexplicable. You can smell [the Hamas kidnappers’] food from 100-150 yards. The coffee they had, the tea, the sweets.”

Heartbroken but relieved Colonel Asaf Hamami is home after 758 days in Hamas captivity. 💔
Col. Asaf Hamami, 41, from Kiryat Ono, was killed on October 7, 2023, fighting Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz Nirim.

Omer Neutra is home after 758 days in Hamas captivity. 💔
Omer, 22, who grew up on Long Island, New York, was murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023.
For over a year his fate was unknown until his family learned he had been killed the day of Oct. 7 and his body kidnapped into Gaza.
A proud lone soldier who moved to Israel, Omer was driven to stand with the Jewish people by a deep sense of duty as the grandson of Holocaust survivors.
A die-hard Knicks fan, Omer loved sport, summer camp and his cats, Ronni & Lizi.
Friends remember him as a “smiley goofball” who lit up every room he entered.
After 758 days, Omer is home - for the dignified burial he was denied for far too long.
May his memory be a blessing. 🕯️

Heartbroken but relieved Oz Daniel is home after 758 days in Hamas captivity. 💔
Oz Daniel, 19, from Kfar Saba, was murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, while defending Israel. His body was kidnapped into Gaza.
A talented guitarist and Guns N’ Roses fan, Oz dreamed of a future in music. Sensitive, kind, and full of light, he was known for his optimism and compassion - always looking out for others, especially those who felt unseen.
After 758 days, Oz is home for the dignified burial he was denied for too long.

❗️ EXCLUSIVE INTELLIGENCE DOCUMENTS: One document lists Mohammed Ibrahim A. Ghafour as an UNRWA employee, another is a certificate showcasing him as a Hamas terrorist.
When the same name shows up in two separate documents, it’s hard not to question where UNRWA’s “humanitarian work” ends and Hamas’ begins.

We mark with respect and grief, 30 years since the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
“Violence erodes the foundation of Israeli democracy. It must be condemned, denounced, isolated. This is not the way of the State of Israel. In a democracy there can be disagreements, but decisions are made in democratic elections.”
~ Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
We remember the words of Prime Minister Menahem Begin, “Civil war - never”
Rabin’s assassin remains in jail. A united Israel looks ahead to a positive future.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar at the Opening of a Meeting in New Delhi, India with External Affairs Minister Dr. Jaishankar: "The eradication of the Hamas terror state is at the heart of President Trump's Plan. We won't compromise on it."
Full Remarks:
"It's an honor to be in New Delhi. I thank External Affairs Minister Dr. Jaishankar for the warm hospitality. Thank you.
We appreciate Prime Minister Modi's strong solidarity. We remember that he was the first world leader to call Prime Minister Netanyahu after Hamas' October 7th massacre.
We won't forget it.
***
Minister,
I believe that India is the future. I told you that.
India is the world's largest democracy and fastest growing economy.
India is a global superpower.
And Israel is a regional powerhouse.
Our nations already share a warm friendship.
Our goal is to build a long-term strategic partnership between Israel and India.
***
Radical terror is a mutual threat to Israel and India.
We strongly condemn the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam.
In the Middle East, Israel faces a unique phenomenon: "terror states".
The radical terror states of Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen - have established themselves over the past decades.
Uprooting them is necessary for the security and stability of our region.
The eradication of the Hamas terror state is at the heart of President Trump's Plan.
Hamas must be disarmed.
Gaza must be demilitarized.
We won't compromise on it.
***
Minister, I believe that the future for regional partnerships is bright.
Israel supports regional connectivity projects such as I2U2 and IMEC.
We want to promote connectivity between South Asia, West Asia and Europe.
I want to finish by thanking you, dear Minister, for your friendship. I look forward to our discussions today."
