The Israeli people want to enter Rafah, and won't give up this time

[Almost Heaven]

Not a week passes where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu isn't at the center of attention - but this week it was for the right reasons. Neither protests against the government nor U.S. President Joe Biden's criticism put him there - Netanyahu was in the spotlight this week because his camp placed him there.

At the crossroads we've reached, between an Egyptian-mediated hostage deal or an operation in Rafah, the national camp had no dilemma. This isn't because they don't care about the hostages, quite the opposite: the national camp feels Israel has given too much time and diplomatic opportunities, which tend toward concessions in the fight to return the hostages back home.
This deal, if implemented, will result in a low number of hostages returning - according to reports, between 20 and 35 - and most of the hostages will remain in captivity while Israel loses the assets it acquired thus far, such as control of the Netzarim Corridor. The national camp has no dilemma in this matter: we've wasted too much time while operating under the pressures of the Americans and Israeli elements who think igniting fires in Tel Aviv and shouting "now" will help in returning the hostages.

Opinion: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was wise to announce Israel won't give up on an operation in Rafah, which is what his political camp and the majority of the Israeli public wish to do

Am i wrong in assuming that Israel has left this invasion too late and that Hamas has pretty much regrouped ?

I think Hamas is struggling to regroup: I don't think they're there yet. But if the proposed deal goes through, I think it will help them gain back much of what they have lost.
