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.

No, the odds, again, were extremely remote. I put them at essentially zero when this began. I thought it was encouraging to see the exchange of hostages. And again, a new administration in Washington certainly has opened up the door to greater leverage against Hamas. But again, it's an impossible scenario in which Israel would vacate and essentially restore conditions that led to October the 7th.

That is the least politically acceptable outcome in Israel. Those that supported any sort of two-state solution or peace process were exactly the casualties on October the 7th and the inhabitants of the Kibbutzim. And they were the direct target of their attacks. And so there's no segment of the population now that supports a withdrawal Or continued negotiations essentially with Hamas.

And so you're right to be cynical about it. And in the end, it comes down to motive, means and opportunity. The motive is going to endure on the part of Hamas and the Palestinians, unfortunately, in Gaza. It's now a matter of denying them the means and the opportunity to restore the capacity to lead to another October the 7th attack.

Yeah. Well, it's a great point. I say two things. First is, I don't know that a resumption of military operations means that they necessarily go on the offensive. This could well look like a continued attrition. And as long as the external support is denied by Israel, you don't necessarily have to do large-scale military operations or a significant campaign.

What it could look like, again, is a sort of a siege on Gaza where they would no longer be provided the material to launch rocket attacks and conduct operations against the Israelis. And then you could see surgical operations against its leadership, strikes that were enabled by overflight operations, which almost certainly will continue if the ceasefire discussions break down.

I don't know that it means you're going to see a resumption of a ground campaign, and I don't know that that's necessary from an Israeli perspective.
