From: Haaretz September 3, 2024 It is not Hamas that is collapsing but Israel
If we continue fighting in Gaza by raiding and re-raiding the same targets, not only won't we bring Hamas to collapse, but we'll collapse...
“The war’s goals — ‘bringing Hamas to collapse’ and ‘freeing all hostages by military pressure’ — have not been achieved.”
Some argue that withdrawing army forces from Gaza after signing a hostage deal with Hamas would be the same as being defeated and surrendering.
They argue that it will return, like a boomerang, in the form of another attack by Hamas and the casualties will be 10 times those we suffered on October 7, 2023.
