  1. the hostages are Hamas' only bargaining chip, so why would they release them? Using special forces is very dicey, a Rambo fantasy. The problem is how to conduct a war against Hamas when they are hiding behind 2 million innocent Gazans. Moving them all to another country is unlikely given that they are largely unwanted elsewhere. Also, why would Netanyahu, who wants to occupy Gaza for Israelis, allow them to return? Seems to me a ceasefire would be good for humanitarian reasons, but why should it only apply to Israel and not Hamas? Given that Hamas and the larger Arab world has been dedicated to Israel's destruction since 1948, and that Israel isn't going to give up their land no matter what, the only options left are perpetual war until one side or the other wins or neighboring Arabs decide to accept Israel as their neighbor. It doesn't help that under Netanyahu, Israel wants to take over both Gaza and the West Bank. If that happens, where do the Palestinians go? Due to domestic political reasons (a powerful pro-Israel lobby in the US), President Biden has chosen to support Netanyahu for the moment, hoping that he will go easier on the Gazans, but that seems unlikely. At some point before the election, political pressure will force Biden to make a choice: continue supporting Bibi or cut him loose. My own opinion is that Bibi and other extremists have to be removed as a first step, but replaced with what? The situation is more perplexing than even Ethan Hunt, Jim Phelps or David Pakman can solve. There is hope, however; if Israel and Egypt can make a peace that has lasted for 45 years, these other questions might be soluble too, somehow.
