Part 4/10:
Hostage negotiations have become a key focal point of the ongoing conflict. Hamas's decision to delay the release of remaining hostages arguably aligns with their strategy to manipulate Israel’s resolve and prolong the ceasefire. The terror organization is reportedly incentivized to keep hostages alive to leverage their value in negotiations while hoping to create divisions within Israeli society.
Hamas's recent claim of Israel's inadequacy in facilitating aid, despite the verified entry of over 14,000 aid trucks, is part of a broader narrative attempt to sway public opinion and maintain their grip on power. A crucial factor here is Turkey’s involvement, aiming to reshape the status quo regarding international relationships and aid distribution.
