Israel’s campaign in Gaza is showing signs of pushing Hamas toward accepting Israeli demands at the negotiating table, an Israeli official familiar with the details tells The Times of Israel.
“I believe the combined pressure — military, political, and logistical — is showing its effects,” says the official.
Israel continues to insist it will not agree to an end to the war without Hamas fully disarming and its leaders going into exile.
