Hamas stated that it was willing to hand over control of the Gaza Strip, release all hostages, in exchange for Israel not forcibly relocating all residents of Gaza, and Israel's army withdrawing from the Gaza Strip, allowing all international aid supplies to enter the Gaza Strip. To show sincerity, Hamas has already released one American hostage, Aiden Alexander, as a gesture to the United States.
However, this time Israel is likely to have made up its mind to thoroughly resolve the Gaza issue. During the first Middle East War, Egyptian forces controlled the Gaza Strip and Jordanian forces controlled the West Bank.
In the 1967 Six-Day War, Israeli forces defeated Egypt and Jordan, seizing control of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. In 2000, Clinton ultimately mediated between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Israeli troops withdrew entirely from the Gaza Strip and retreated from 96% of the West Bank, achieving Palestinian statehood.
However, history did not lead to peace; Israel's far-right wanted to establish a Greater Israel, while Hamas aimed to achieve dominion "from river to sea." The conflict between Palestine and Israel became increasingly intense, with Israel continuously increasing pressure on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank each time.
This time, it might be the last great battle, with the defeated side being exiled to the African continent. The survivors will be confined to several large camps in southern Gaza.
Israel announced that negotiations could continue, and negotiations for the exchange of prisoners and hostages could proceed. However, this war must be fought until Hamas is completely annihilated.
