Yeah, so most of their military capacity has been eliminated as a result of military operations, but clearly there remains remnants, and those are now on display every time they do a transfer of remains. The second, when Israel was pulled and withdrew elements of their forces from Gaza and stopped their overflights for intelligence purposes,
Hezbollah is using this or Hamas rather is using this to resurrect their capacity. So they're drawing on a population that is displaced, homeless, and they were aggravated to begin with. They're certainly more likely to be motivated now. And Hamas is the only organized function that has resources and has been dispersing aid and is obtaining additional funds.

And as long as that's the case, they're the only show in town. So they are resurrecting their capacity. It'll take time to do so. But this all, of course, comes under the clock. And the Netanyahu government knows that time is not on its side.

And so long as Hamas only has remains to offer and will do so in an episodic fashion, the pressure is going to continue to increase for Israel to take care of it. And the support they're getting from Washington under the Trump administration just makes it easier for them to do so.

100%. And not only do I expect there'll be no complete withdrawal, I don't suspect that they'll give up the Philadelphia corridor, which divides Gaza from the Egyptian border. And for context, this is where the infrastructure to provide a chief amount of the external support of arms, munitions, and rockets has historically come from. It's very unlikely that they're going to do so.

That is essentially the second phase. And no one really anticipated we ever get to that in any case. So I suspect that not only will we not, I think in short order, we would expect, I would expect a reversal.

Well, it's complicated. In theory, they could do it from the maritime domain. It's a little more complicated. It's more challenging to do so, but it is also not unprecedented. Beyond that, they'd have to reuse the materials that are already present. And so it's not a winning proposition. It's also why they want a stop to the intelligence overflight.

It's also why they want a complete withdrawal and they want to resume and restore Hamas control over the Philadelphia corridor. And again, Israel is unlikely to do so. And I don't think that they will.
