The conflict between Israel and Hamas has escalated significantly, with over 30,400 Palestinians killed in Gaza due to Israeli airstrikes and fire, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry. The ongoing war, now in its 151st day, has seen Israel, a regional military superpower, destroy the majority of Hamas battalions, kill thousands of fighters, and obliterate dozens of tunnels. Despite this, the situation presents a complex dilemma for Israel. It faces the choice of either trying to annihilate Hamas, risking the lives of hostages still held in Gaza, or negotiating a deal that could allow Hamas to claim victory. This dilemma is underscored by a hostage crisis that further complicates Israel's path to victory amidst calls for a ceasefire.
