You may have heard that 50 Israeli women and children hostages are set to be freed from Hamas this week. It's crucial to understand that this release isn't an act of kindness or a sudden moral shift on Hamas' end. These terrorists are currently using 240 men, women, and children as bargaining chips.
After 46 days of a measured military response in the Gaza Strip, Hamas has been compelled to play its hand. Now, we find ourselves in a 4-day pause in Gaza, a component of the deal Israel negotiated for the release of these hostages. In the upcoming days, there will be significant pressure on Israel to extend this pause and refrain from military action.
It's essential to emphasize that, without the military advantage gained in recent weeks, Hamas wouldn't have released our citizens. Without a continued military response, we risk abandoning 200 hostages to a grim fate. Israel remains unwavering in its commitment to leaving no one, man, woman, or child, behind. The fight for their freedom continues.
