Why Israel hasn’t started the ground assault on Hamas still is a mystery to some. The solution is in Washington, D.C. Israel entered a full-fledged war following the atrocities committed by the Hamas. The IDF gathered 300,000 soldiers, and 30,000 Israelis have been evacuated from front-line areas. Those are individuals who are not working or living with their families; some of them arrived by air. Israel is one of the most organized countries in the world as a result. But that cannot continue indefinitely. However, everyone is waiting rather than entering because D. C. and the EU want to prevent an attack on Hamas. According to U.S. and international officials, the governments of the United States and Europe have joined forces to pressure Israel to delay its ground invasion of Gaza in order to give it more time to secure the release of Hamas-held hostages.
In order to pressure Hamas into releasing the hostages taken during their attack on Israel earlier this month, a number of nations have been attempting to use their contacts with the radical organization. One U.S. official claimed that Qatar’s government had been quite useful in this matter, but he also noted the challenges in reaching a deal in light of Israeli bombardment of Gaza and the escalating humanitarian crisis there. Hamas receives funding from Qatar. It is a haven for Hamas leaders. Qatar quite thoughtfully negotiated a truce prior to the Hamas attack on Israel. Hamas has no justification for releasing the hostages then that the U.S. and the EU have made it clear that they can prevent Israel from using him as leverage. The sole reason IDF soldiers aren’t currently in Gaza City is because of those hostages. Instead of securing their release, they have increased their value as hostages. With the release of two adult National hostages, what did Hamas purchase? D. C. diplomats’ conviction that if they simply spend more time negotiating with Hamas, they can obtain more freedom. According to a CNN report released on Sunday, the United States is pressuring Israel to delay launching hostage negotiations in Gaza.
A person familiar with the U.S. Israel talks told the cable network, one of two sources it cited in its report,” The administration pressed Jewish leadership to delay because of progress on the hostage front.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken sidestepped the question when asked on Meet the Press on Sunday about the U.S. delaying a potential ground invasion by Israel into Gaza, but he added that they are not” second guessing” their ally.
It’s in Hamas’ best interests to appear sensible, but to hang on to adequate hostages to slow any Israeli action, President Joe Biden said to reporters on Saturday in response to a question about delaying an impending ground incursion. And Hamas is successfully achieving that with the help of its helpful idiots in Europe and Washington, D.C. According to CNN,” Hamas does not seem to have gotten anything useful out of the release of Americans Judith Tai Raanan and her 17-year-old daughter, Natalie RaANan ,” on Friday. Israel has been persuaded by Hamas to postpone a ground attack. Can you get any more concrete, please?
Some people wonder why Israel hasn’t started the ground assault against Hamas yet. Washington D.C. is the answer. After Hamas’ atrocities, Israel was on full war footing. The IDF mobilized 300.000 troops and evacuated 300,000 Israelis from the frontline areas. Some of these people are not with their family or at work, and some have flown in from abroad. Israel is now one of the world’s most mobilized nations. But this can’t last forever. Instead of going in, everyone waits because D.C. wants to delay an assault on Hamas. U.S. officials and European governments are joining forces to pressure Israel to delay its ground invasion in Gaza so that more time can be given to free the hostages held by Hamas.
Several countries are trying to leverage their contacts to Hamas in order to pressure the militant group to free the hostages they took during their attack on Israel earlier this week. Qatar’s government was praised by a U.S. official for its assistance, but he also noted that it was difficult to reach an agreement in light of Israel’s bombardment on Gaza and the spiraling humanitarian crisis there. Qatar is the state sponsor of Hamas. It is harboring Hamas’ leaders. Qatar negotiated a truce before the Hamas attack against Israel. Now that the U.S., the EU, and others have made it clear they can stop Israel taking out Hamas to secure the release of the hostages, Hamas is not motivated to release them. Hamas’s belief that more hostages can be released if D.C. diplomats spend more time negotiating.
The cable network cited two sources in its report, including a person familiarized with the U.S. – Israel talks who said that the [administration] had pressed Israeli leaders to delay due to progress on the hostage front.
On Sunday, when asked about the U.S. delaying an possible ground incursion into Gaza by Israel, Secretary of State Antony Blinken avoided the question but said that they were not “second-guessing” their ally.
CNN reports that Hamas has not gotten anything concrete from the release of Judith Tai Raanan, her daughter Natalie Raanan, and her mother, Judith Tai Raanan, on Friday. However, Hamas has gotten Israel delay a ground attack. How much concrete can you get from Hamas?
