The terrorist organization seeks regime survival in Gaza via a full deal, former defense officials tell JNS.

Egypt and Qatar propose phased deal: release of hostages, Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and multi-year ceasefire.

“We must return to fighting in a completely different way: to defeat, to destroy Hamas,” said the Israeli finance minister.​

A war can be both morally justified and legally constrained. Israel’s campaign against Hamas is exactly that. It was not launched lightly or recklessly—it was waged in defense of life, sovereignty and the rule of law.

Israel’s prime minister rejects a ceasefire and warns: Ending the war now would be a “strategic defeat.”

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich calls for the “complete destruction” of the terror group.

Hamas can glorify the dead. Lost land, however, is a sign of weakness, of defeat, and for the population, a visible testament to failure.

The demonstrators were also seen carrying Egyptian flags, apparently showing support for Cairo’s mediation efforts toward a ceasefire agreement and hostage deal in recent weeks.

Hamza Asafah, who took part in the massacre and staged release events, was slain in a precision airstrike in central Gaza two weeks ago.
