Opinion: Even with a hostage deal on the horizon, Israel’s most right-wing government refuses to topple Hamas or offer alternatives for Gaza’s 2 million residents; soldiers continue to face deadly battles without clear goals, as Beit Hanoun and Jabaliya preview tougher fights ahead

Opinion: Benefits to Israel outweigh disadvantages including security concerns; Trump administration would provide leverage against Hamas, lift restrictions on military aid and assist Israel in other matters  

Analysis: The current deal's outline is full of loopholes and won't allow the IDF to resume fighting in the northern Gaza Strip after its completion; Israel is paying the price of a comprehensive deal, not a partial one

Opinion: It's essential for Israel to closely inspect the IDF's roadmap in Gaza and the current war as a whole, facilitate a post-war strategy and ensure the return of the hostages as fighting still continues
