According to the Israeli Times and the Jerusalem Post on the 19th, the Israeli government held a cabinet meeting on the same day to adopt the proposal of Prime Minister Netanyahu to change the official name of the military operation in the Gaza Strip from "Iron Sword Operation" to "Revival War".

Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting before the vote: ¡°After two consecutive years of fighting, we remember how we rose from the terrible catastrophe of October 7th. This is a war about the rejuvenation of our nation and a direct continuation of the war on independence.¡± At the same time, he announced that the ¡°rejuvenation war¡± will become the official name marked on the future Israeli military medals and medals. According to the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) report on 18th, the change is expected to cost about 2 million new shekels (approximately RMB 4.3 million).

The proposal was co-proposed by Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, and finally passed by a majority vote in a cabinet vote, with several ministers objecting. Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amicai Chikli, who belongs to the Likud party with Netanyahu, abstained from the vote. He posted on social platforms that he believed that the word "revival" should only be used during the founding of Israel; Orit Strok, member of the far-right Religious Zionist Party and head of Israel's Ministry of Settlement and National Vision, voted against it.

Rapid, the leader of the Israeli Opposition¡¯s ¡°Party for the Future¡±, tweeted before the cabinet vote that Netanyahu¡¯s government ¡°wants to call it the October 7 war, but it¡¯s not helpful.¡± he wrote: ¡°It¡¯s not a ¡®rejuvenation war¡¯, but a ¡®struggle of sin¡¯, named after all those who tried to escape from sin but failed.¡± he also said that the conflict ¡°was, is still, the October 7 war, the October 7 government, the October 7 disaster,¡± and all attempts to erase it will not succeed.

According to Israeli media reports, despite the official name, Israeli society generally calls this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict the "October 7 War."
