Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant are currently meeting in the Prime Minister's Bureau, as reported at approximately 8:15 AM UTC on September 15th, 2025. The meeting occurs as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) anticipates a planned offensive in Gaza City, with over 320,000 Palestinians having evacuated the area, according to IDF estimates released this morning. Details regarding the agenda of the Netanyahu-Gallant meeting are not immediately available. However, the discussion takes place against the backdrop of significant evacuations from Gaza City, with an estimated 20,000 people leaving overnight. The IDF had previously ordered the immediate evacuation of all of Gaza City, directing civilians to a humanitarian zone in the south, as reported last week. In related developments, Madrid Mayor José Luis Martínez Almeida stated on September 15th that there is "no genocide in Gaza," according to a post on X. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has reiterated his support for Qatar as an ally and urged Israel to exercise caution in its Gaza operations, statements he made on both September 15th and September 14th. The IDF's delay in publishing findings from a committee examining the treatment of reserve soldiers who have died by suicide was also noted. The committee's conclusions have not yet been presented to the Chief of Staff, with IDF officials citing operational situations as a reason for the postponement, according to a report this morning.
