With the escalation in the South seeing no sign of ending, rockets fall on Tel Aviv as we record the show. We get an update from Israel's Embassy in DC and from the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv on how the operation is progressing. I am joined in the studio by Israeli blogger Brian of London, and regular co-host, New Media Director for the Times of Israel Sarah Tuttle-Singer, to talk about how the internet wants to #FreeGaza from Hamas.

We speak to Israel's Ministry of Defense Foreign Press Spokesman Johnathan Mosery for an update on the situation in Gaza. Has the IDF reached its goals? Is there an end in sight? What would Israel consider as the best outcome from the current conflict?

We speak to Senior Adviser to Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Josh Hantman. He tells us about the call between Netanyahu and Obama that never was, and how US public opinion is judging the situation in Israel and Gaza.
