Part 2/8:
Currently, 24 Israeli hostages are believed to be alive, increasing pressure on Hamas to find a resolution. The IDF’s actions reflect a “maximum pressure campaign,” signaling Israel's frustration with the slow progress in negotiations and a willingness to expand its military strategies to regain control over the situation. The potential for further aggressive measures could involve Israeli forces seizing land within Gaza to prompt the return of hostages.
With Hamas already weakened, the potential for a breakthrough in negotiations appears more tangible. Experts believe that in the coming days, there might be developments surrounding the release of some hostages, heightening the urgency for resolution to avoid further conflict.
