Hamas says in contact with mediators to end Israeli "aggression"

There is no need for new agreements in light of the existing agreement signed by all parties,

Nunu said

Today I felt that Gaza is a real hell,

said Jihan Nahhal, a 43-year-old from Gaza City, ... adding some

I think that this time around, Egypt will be forced by the U.S. to open up the gate and allow Palestinians to flee the battlefield. That is the right thing to do. It's the humane thing to do. It is the legal thing to do, and that is what Egypt must do,

Jonathan Conricus, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, highlighted Egypt’s role in the evolving situation ... he said

There is a clear tension between releasing the hostages, which involves a deal, and eradicating Hamas, which involves fighting. If the hostages are killed, that’s irreversible. An enduring defeat to Hamas, we all understand, is a generational task,

Orion acknowledged the complexity of balancing military objectives with hostage negotiations ... he told Fox News Digital

The Trump administration, even before it was elected, was very clear: release all the hostages, including American citizens, or I will provide Israel everything it needs to legally, lawfully, and within all international laws prosecute its war against Hamas, with fewer constraints than the Biden administration put on it."

John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at West Point’s Modern War Institute, told Fox News Digital

The recent strikes, as Israel states, include quite a lot of the governmental side of a terror organization,

Assaf Orion, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute and INSS, told Fox News Digital

The big variable at the higher level is the status of civilian evacuations,

Spencer explained

Hamas is weaker than ever, with its ability to hold territory and conduct organized military operations severely diminished. However, Israel must commit to holding the ground it clears, or Hamas could regroup and return."

Spencer believes it to be possible, saying

For the first time, Israel will be able to use all available weapons to decisively defeat Hamas,

Conricus, a former IDF spokesman, told Fox News Digital

The risk to hostages has increased. Hamas may execute some in retaliation for Israel’s renewed offensive, but the way I see it, Israel had no choice but to resume military operations after two weeks in which Hamas didn’t release any hostages. Honestly, I’m surprised we’ve waited this long to act."

Conricus told Fox News Digital

Benjamin Netanyahuprime Minister

Our alliance with the United States has never been stronger,

In a video statement on Tuesday, Netanyahu thanked President Trump for his unwavering support of Israel ... he said

It is all about Trump, ... Netanyahu can continue this war for another year. If Trump tells him in two weeks, enough, now you have to go for a deal, he would."

a former senior Israeli official told Fox News Digital

Hamas is committed to maintaining the agreement and will continue to engage flexibly with mediators to prevent further aggression against the Palestinian people and hold the occupation accountable for its obligations,
