At the UN Security Council, Netanyahu defends Israel's Gaza City plans amid heavy criticism. The Prime Minister insists the offensive is the "best way" to end the war and free Gaza from Hamas. Ambassadors from several countries warn Israel's plans could violate international law, while the US supports Israel's efforts to free hostages. Thousands protest in Israel against the plan, fearing for the safety of hostages as Netanyahu outlines a three-step aid plan for Gaza.
