Sivan Raviv, ILTV|
If a new hostage deal is not reached soon, Israel is likely to resume a full-fledged war in Gaza, according to NGO Monitor CEO Gerald Steinberg.
He told ILTV that without an agreement, "we'll see a full-scale Israeli return to Gaza — into all the areas where the IDF previously withdrew, especially the Netzarim Corridor in the middle, as well as the northern and southern regions."
Steinberg added that another Israeli military operation could lead to further displacement of Gazans and a renewed push to eliminate Hamas and destroy its tunnel network.
