The first phase of Gaza is stopped. What now?
Under the original plan, the second stage meant talks to liberate the remaining hostages (mainly, from Israeli males), and resolving future governance in Gaza and the vision of Israel is completely withdrawing.
We do not see any method that happens unless Hamas agrees to leave Gaza completely.
Israel still has to achieve its three goals: get hostages at home, destroy the military and administrative force of Hamas and ensure that Gaza is not the base of terrorist attacks on Israel again.
It may now have an opportunity to achieve this first goal – to return the hostages.
Then you can do what he thinks better regarding enthusiasm.
Example: It may agree to extend the first stage, with more hostages in exchange for delaying the fighting, and perhaps the release of Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas has so far refused, prompting Israel to obtain humanitarian assistance.
Or, as the second stage is imagined, it may agree to withdraw from Gaza and end the war – and still decide its next step later.
Either way, once all hostages are returned, all bets are stopped.
Israel will be free to follow up everyone Other goals. Regardless of what he promised.
This is true: There will be no moral reason for ending Hamas hunting, even through a widespread renewed war.
Hamas is a terrorist group. It suffocates, burns and falls children. He pledges to launch new attacks on Israel.
There was a ceasefire on October 7, 2023, when the enthusiasm of Israel invaded, raped, burned, killed, and kidnapped nearly 1500 protein.
Jerusalem can “honor”, that is, a ceasefire with Hamas, the way Hamas did earlier.
Hamas needs to eliminate it, or at least distort, just as the base and ISIS were largely.
The usual suspects may shout in the “international community”, but as the famous Golda Mir noticed, it is better to be alive with a bad image of the dead and air.
Hamas leaders definitely realize all this; They are now determined by psychological warfare to transfer Israeli public opinion to abandon the securing of Gaza, at least at the present time.
Israel goes beyond what it justifies in doing everything necessary to make the terrorists maintain hostages, whether these surgical strikes and a secret war, and restart some criminals who were issued in the first stage or even the resumption of full military operations.
A comprehensive campaign, this time completely With the support of an American president, he will be justified.
If Hamas leaders do not want to hand over power (Israel offered generous terms) and prefer to face death or seizure, Israel can make it happy.
Hamas mainly returns to power now, with new new recruits. Allowing him to survive is intact will pave the way for more terror.
If the terrorists want to continue the ceasefire, they will create more hostages immediately, or Israel must move to destroy the group's strangle forever.
This is the only way towards permanent peace.
