The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is about to usher in a turning point! Hamas released two American hostages, which was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face to Israel. If Israel launches a ground war, it will face Hamas, which is still powerful. But Hamas's release of hostages also means that it is likely to continue the release, prolong the time and weaken Israel's momentum. European and American countries such as France also hope that Hamas will release the hostages, which may cause Israel to postpone the ground war. It is worth noting that Israel has not yet found the location of the hostages, and the performance of the intelligence services has been disappointing. Hamas's release may reveal its location and give Israel a chance.
Israel's dilemma, however, is that the hostages cannot all be concentrated in one place, and a rescue operation could inspire Hamas retaliation. What does it mean that Hamas sends a special signal by releasing the hostages? Israel stepped up its ground offensive at Gaza, but Hamas released two American hostages. Does this mean that Hamas no longer wants to fight? If Hamas were to fight Israel to the death, they would not be able to release the hostages. Hamas knows that if Israel launches a ground war, their fate will be at stake.
However, Europe and the United States have not explicitly asked Israel to postpone or stop the ground war. Israel is ready for this war, and Hamas's release of the hostages has not changed Israel's attitude. Is there a backroad for Israel? If this ground war is not fought, how will the Israeli people view Netanyahu? This will affect not only Netanyahu's fate, but also Israel's position in the Middle East. The question is, how should Israel fight? To what extent are they going to fight? Will a decisive victory be achieved?
Israeli air forces and U.S. AWACS aircraft could enter the skies over Gaza to conduct all-round surveillance of Hamas. However, most Hamas forces are likely to be hidden in buildings and underground tunnels, and they are highly survivable. Israel's ground war can be a long and difficult struggle, requiring minimal civilian casualties while ensuring military victory. In short, Israel's strength and posture have been sufficient, and the release of hostages by Hamas does not mean that they no longer want to fight. This war will have a profound impact on the situation in the Middle East. However, a peaceful settlement remains the best option.
Israel and Palestine should sit down and negotiate to find a lasting and just solution. The cost of this war is too high, and we must seek a peaceful solution to ensure long-term stability and prosperity in the region. What do you think is a peaceful solution in the Middle East? The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been going on for days, but where is the end of the war? Does Israel want to take Hamas or gain more control and influence in Gaza? And Hamas, what are their goals in this war?
In fact, Israel's goal is clear, and they want to destroy the core of Hamas. If Israel wants to prop up new forces in Gaza, they need to stay there longer, which could provoke a backlash from the Arab world and Iran. If Israel wins the Gaza battlefield but loses its international reputation, it will not be worth the loss. At the same time, Hamas's goal is clear: it wants to resist Israeli attacks as much as possible and protect its weapons manufacturing bases and top command staff.
If Hamas wins this war, it will seriously threaten Israel's security. Therefore, the key to winning or losing this war is who can get more advantages over the opponent. But the end of this war could also lead to a larger conflict. If Israel launches a ground war, then a low- and medium-intensity conflict is likely in the Lebanese and Syrian directions. And if the war escalates to trigger the sixth Middle East war, then Iran may also enter the war. Therefore, this war is extremely dangerous for the Middle East.
Faced with such a situation, all parties are making their own choices, but war will bring great destruction and damage, regardless of who the ultimate winner is. Therefore, in this war, we should advocate peace and call on all parties to resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiation, so as to avoid greater destruction and casualties. Only through peace can the Middle East region achieve long-term stability and development.
