Netanyahu’s remarks, in an interview on Israeli television, were the latest suggestion by Israeli officials that the war could soon change. Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, said over the weekend that his meetings with Biden administration officials this week would include discussion of “the transition to ‘Phase C’ in Gaza.” Last October, Gallant outlined a three-part battle plan, beginning with a period of intense airstrikes against Hamas targets and infrastructure, then a period of ground operations to eliminate pockets of resistance. The third phase, Gallant said then, would be to create “a new security reality for the citizens of Israel” — presumably by achieving Israel’s stated goals of dismantling Hamas’s military and governing capabilities in Gaza. The Israeli government has not proposed a clear plan for governing Gaza after Hamas, but in the interview Netanyahu suggested involving local Palestinians, possibly with help from moderate Arab nations. The Israeli military would maintain security control of the enclave. West Bank: An influential Israeli official said in a taped speech at a private event that the government was stealthily trying to [cement control of the occupied area](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoW4JqP4QTAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMDYvMjEvd29ybGQvbWlkZGxlZWFzdC9pc3JhZWwtd2VzdC1iYW5rLW5ldGFueWFodS1iZXphbGVsLXNtb3RyaWNoLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjQwNjI0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEyNzAxNSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNzAzNjUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmZ0av14ZspTcQRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~).

Wielding rifles and Molotov cocktails, the gunmen attacked synagogues and churches in the cities of Makhachkala and Derbent. Officials said that six attackers were killed in shootouts. Sergei Melikov, Dagestan’s governor, said that “more than 15 police officers fell victim to today’s terrorist attack,” without specifying how many were killed and how many were wounded. The Russian Investigative Committee, the country’s equivalent to the F.B.I., said it had opened a terrorism investigation. Region: Dagestan is a predominantly Muslim republic, but it also has a Jewish population, and it has experienced a heightened level of violence for at least three decades. Melikov described the attack as the latest assault “on our multiethnic unity.” Context: The mayhem highlighted the long-running ethnic and religious tensions in Russia. In March, four gunmen killed 145 people at a Moscow concert hall in a terrorist attack, the deadliest in Russia in two decades.
