The Houthis and Hezbollah, once eager to join the fight, now find themselves constrained by their own battles and US military pressure.

Hamas stands increasingly isolated, yet: -- Don't know... I reckon, it is Israel increasingly isolated and has become the Global Pariah
1. it remains committed to a strategy:
2. that will only bring more destruction to Gaza
3. and suffering to its own people.

Where the new strikes go is still up in the air.
Israel has a lot of choices. Israel’s actions in Gaza have received support from the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, the Arab nations have supported an Egyptian rehabilitation plan for Gaza. But those states are also dealing with other problems.
Frantzman explained on Tuesday: “There are the US strikes on the Houthis as well as Syria’s tensions with Hezbollah in Lebanon,”

Israel’s objective is clear:
1. ensure that Hamas can no longer function as an organized terrorist entity.
2. This requires sustained military pressure,
3. strategic strikes,
4. and a refusal to engage in futile negotiations
5. that only serve to prolong Hamas’ grip on power.

The world must recognize Hamas’ tactics for what they are – a desperate attempt to stall, deceive, and survive at the expense of peace.
Israel has no obligation to play along.

Mediators are reportedly pushing Hamas to release Israeli hostages in exchange for a de-escalation, following Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip overnight into Tuesday.
