Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given his first interview to a local media outlet since Hamas' attack on October 7.

And he spoke about the situation between Israel and Hezbollah - how bad is it getting?

Meanwhile Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant is in Washington for "critical" talks on Gaza and Lebanon.
