Not a soul will live.
What is the Rabbi's opinion regarding Rabbi Eliyahu Mali's statement – that the law of not letting any soul live is based primarily on the logic that arose for the one who kills, the one who kills, and therefore it is now obligatory to kill every soul in Gaza, since there are no uninvolved. And even those who are not directly involved want to murder Jews, and if they are not eliminated, may create another generation of Jew-killers?

I don't know who Rabbi Mali is, but not every soul will live, it was said about the seven nations or Amalek and that's it. If he has interpretive innovations, that's very nice, but embarking on genocide based on them is excessive, especially since it borders on the ta'ama of reading (and one could almost say that this is the boundary). Regarding this, it was said: And because we imagine, we will act?! Beyond that, there is also the law of nations (international law) and the morality to which we are committed.
Note that I am not talking about a situation where one must harm those not involved in order to be saved or to save kidnapped people. This is a simple thing that is permitted and should be done, without any connection to "no soul shall live." For this, no new interpretive moves are needed. It is possible that he means this and acts like all those who enjoy finding everything in the verses (for no wrongdoing on their part) even if it is a simple assumption. But the claim that one must kill them even if it is not necessary for our salvation is a very great interpretive innovation and a shame. To kill based on such a thing is criminal recklessness.
