Israel’s Successful Rescue Operation Creates Pressure On Hamas To Secure A Deal

Published

By Henry Gabriel

Israel’s successful rescue operation in Nuseirat, in the Palestinian territory has put both Hamas and the Israeli government under added pressure to secure a deal, an expert has said.

Avi Melamed, a former Israeli intelligence official and regional analyst, sheds light on the implications of the operation and its impact on the ongoing negotiations.

Melamed, who has extensive experience in Arab affairs and served as a negotiator during the first and second intifadas, emphasizes the significance of the rescue operation.
He revealed the overwhelming sense of relief, rejoicing, and unity that swept across Israel following the successful rescue of Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv.

The morale boost resulting from the operation, according to him, has not only uplifted the Israeli populace but also strengthened the military and the government.

Melamed suggests that this success underscores the immense pressure that Israel’s military force can exert on Hamas. It is hoped that this pressure will push Hamas towards a more amenable negotiating position.

However, Melamed also emphasizes that true victory will only be achieved when all the remaining hostages are returned.

This reminder puts additional pressure on Israel’s government to take decisive action and facilitate the release of the remaining captives.

The families of the hostages are eagerly waiting for their loved ones to come home, while the deceased hostages deserve a proper burial in Israel.

“The successful rescue operation in Nuseirat has brought a sense of relief and unity to our nation,” Melamed states.
“But it is crucial to remember that our mission is not complete until all the hostages are safely returned. We must continue to apply pressure on the Israeli government to prioritize the well-being of our citizens and bring an end to this ordeal.”

The operation’s success has bolstered the confidence of the Israeli people, who now look to their government for swift and effective action.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in particular, is facing increased expectations to bring about a resolution to this crisis.

Elanza News reports that the public sentiment is clear: the rescue operation was a significant achievement, but it should not be seen as the final goal.

As the negotiations continue, the international community is closely monitoring the situation. Many countries have expressed their support for Israel’s efforts to secure the release of the remaining hostages. The United States, in particular, has reaffirmed its commitment to Israel’s security and the well-being of its citizens.

Israel’s successful rescue operation in Nuseirat has not only provided a morale boost to the nation but has also intensified the pressure on both Hamas and the Israeli government to secure a deal.
Avi Melamed’s insights shed light on the significance of this operation and emphasize the importance of returning all the hostages to their families.

Elanza News reports that the ongoing negotiations will determine the outcome of this crisis, and the international community stands ready to support Israel in its efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution.
