There is a chance that the emerging quiet in Lebanon, and Israel's success in forcing Hezbollah to dissociate itself from the events in Gaza, will generate new momentum in the Strip as well. That's related mainly to Donald Trump's arrival in the White House and the incoming President's claims that he is into ending wars, not starting new ones
...Hamas finds itself significantly weakened compared to both the Israeli military and Hezbollah. Military leaders assert they could regain control of the Philadelphi and Netzarim corridors within hours if a Gaza cease-fire collapsed. Meanwhile, a temporary pause could save captive lives and enable the recovery of bodies, whereas continued captivity will inevitably lead to more deaths.
In late May, Netanyahu presented a hostage deal blueprint, later termed the Biden blueprint. It dissolved in early July when the prime minister backtracked upon seeing a possibility for progress...
The difference between May and November is that what was then whispered cautiously is now declared openly by the likes of veteran settler activist Daniella Weiss, who is leading a movement to resettle Gaza. The settlers and the two far-right parties in the government don't want a hostage deal of any kind, as it would disrupt their plans to reestablish the settlements.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the leader of the Religious Zionism faction in the Knesset, said this week with icy detachment that he believes it's possible "to thin out half the population in Gaza within two years." He was speaking at a conference organized by the freebie newspaper Israel Hayom; there were no reports of alarm or protest from the audience.
Netanyahu is a willing hostage of Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. In the dilemma between rescuing the hostages and his coalition's survival, he has already decided what he wants to do: preserve the occupation in Gaza. His extremist allies believe that the anticipated failure of the defense establishment's plans to distribute humanitarian aid to northern Gaza will pave the way for expelling the civilian population from that area, restoring a military regime there and reestablishing settlements.
