These negotiations get close to a deal, but then nothing happened. I think that's where we're at and have always been at for some time now. So, this is why we're starting to see this new militia emerge, I think, to try to put more pressure on Hamas. Additional IDF maneuvers in the Gaza Strip in recent days, more pressure on Hamas. to eventually let go. I think this is what Israel is trying to do.
Will it work? I don't know. But what I'm afraid of, what I'm concerned is that Hamas will continue going despite the collateral damage or the damage that has been caused in Gaza, unfortunately. I'm not sure they'll give up or surrender. I don't know. I think that's where we're at right now, especially with the ceasefire. It's just the same problem. One side doesn't want to give up.
It's, you know, it's terms and the same goes for the other. So one of them is going to blink. I just don't know who.
I think that's what Hamas fears the most. I think that's what Israel wants more than anything. We've seen a little bit of it with protests, especially in the Northern Gaza Strip over the last months. You see these protests, they start for a few days, they start rolling, the more people start coming out, but then they stop all of a sudden. Why do they stop? I'll tell you why they stop.
It's because there are members of Hamas that intimidate these protesters. They go to their homes. Sometimes they beat the protest. Sometimes they kill some of the protesters. They've done that. So, as long as Hamas has the ability to intimidate protesters, to essentially or effectively quash these protests, I don't see the Palestinian people rising up.
However, again, as we talked about earlier, this emerging militia may compel other Palestinians to do something similar, all right? And that would be a big problem for Hamas. Right now, today, I don't think the civilians could rise up against Hamas, but maybe in a month or two, I think it's possible.
But there needs to be more coordination, more organization among the Palestinian civilians for that to happen. I think it has to be widespread, but we haven't seen that so far.
