Israel is considering acting against Hamas by re-arresting dozens of terrorists who were released in previous hostage release deals, especially the terrorists who were released to Yehudah and Shomron and East Jerusalem, Channel 12 News reported on Sunday evening.

Such a move would place pressure on Hamas to reach a deal, joining the previous step of halting humanitarian aid into the Strip.

According to the report, the move has already been raised several times in Cabinet discussions but was rejected by defense officials.

In recent days, senior government officials have been reconsidering the move in the wake of Hamas’s refusal to accept a hostage release deal. A Cabinet meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, and one of the discussions on the agenda is setting a deadline for Hamas to accept the Witkoff deal, which includes the release of 10 hostages and a discussion on ending the war.

When the deadline is set, assuming that no deal is reached by then, Israel intends to move to more intense warfare in Gaza and change its goal from working toward a hostage release deal to defeating Hamas.

  1. A bunch of secular buns run the army and political positions. All talk to keep israeli population quiet. It’s very easy to get the hostages out. Every minute these fat cat pork eating politicians with their bare heads play cat and mouse. They talk big and do nothing. Had these fools just stopped all food,fuel,water,medicine,electricity,internet connection and media outlets into Gaza then gazans would loot and riot against Hamas. They should have flattened every standing house. Tunnels would be usless with no fuel to provide air. All they care about is staying in office and getting their weekly pay check and their car and driver. They don’t care about the soldiers lives at all. The will lick up a soldier who dares to violate their stupid rules as soldiers fight with one hand tied behind their back. Hamaven yovin
