Israel Considering Additional Actions in Gaza to Bring Hostages Home
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - Senior Israeli officials state that beginning on January 20, 2025, "it will be possible to take additional actions in Gaza." The prevailing impression in Israel is that Trump does not particularly care what measures Israel employs in Gaza to secure the release of the hostages and conclude the war. If no deal with Hamas has been reached by the start of the Trump administration, Israel is expected to reset the rules of engagement against Hamas. Many of the tools currently restricted by the Biden administration, alongside specific demands on Israel, will no longer apply. According to a source, taking full control over humanitarian aid could worsen Hamas's situation. Moreover, Trump has pledged to release all the weapons shipments currently delayed under Biden on his first day in office, providing Israel with the means to expand its military operations significantly.
