And symbolically allowing Israeli conservatives to declare a victory of sorts and speed up negotiations for a cease fire.
Let's grant that.
What is the thing that will happen that will end this war?
Netanyahu/Israel have said
1) unilateral return of hostages
2) complete destruction of Hamas
Neither of those have proven possible after a year militarily. Israel has said in exchange for the hostages they will offer a "pause" in the fighting. I'm not 100% sure what the latest count is, but I don't think these facts are in dispute:
1) Israel has freed by far the most hostages through negotiations
2) Israel has killed more hostages than they've freed by force
If Israel wants to declare victory, I would welcome it!
There is zero evidence for that being imminent, other than some Western ally wish casting.
As for if this allows Israel to finally defeat Hamas, I guess I don't even know what that means or how Israel would define it. Gallant had a quote today saying Gaza will be occupied for years to come. Who will rule Gaza? Seems like the idea is to make it completely uninhabitable so that it can be ethnically cleansed. If anyone has a simpler explanation or any kind of plan that has been communicated by the Israelis, I'd love to hear it.
