Title: Urgent!Hamas threatens hostages, will Israel fall for the scheme?
On 10 December, Hamas stood at a crossroads and demanded negotiations. They said that without negotiations, the hostages in the October 7 attack would not survive. How can we respond to such a critical situation?
Looking back at the October 7 attacks, hostages were taken and Hamas demanded negotiations. This point in time becomes the key to the negotiations. Hamas's demands are not simple: they want Israel to cease fire immediately, return the occupied Palestinian territories and implement a two-state solution. The question is, is such a request too harsh for Israel?What is the true purpose of Hamas?
Behind the negotiations, Hamas's conditions seem to be firm, but in fact they carry their helplessness. Israel's onslaught has left Hamas in a precarious position and has no choice but to seek negotiations. But the question is, how exactly does Hamas want to negotiate?Does Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's threat to eradicate Hamas by overwhelming force mean that Israel has a negative attitude towards negotiations?
Since 7 October, the Israeli army has suffered 5,000 casualties, with some 60 more being wounded every day. Netanyahu has emphasized the eradication of Hamas, but the issue of hostages has been rarely mentioned. This raises the question of why Israel would launch indiscriminate attacks, even involving women and children, if they care so much about the lives of the hostages
Israel's intransigent stance has brought the negotiations to an impasse. Hamas has tried to seek peace or more through hostage threats, but this strategy has hardly worked in practice. Israel's attacks have been so aggressive that it is doubtful that hostages can really be used as bargaining chips. However, hostages are the only bargaining chips in Hamas's hands, and there is no other way to use them if they don't use them.
In this predicament, people have begun to question the wisdom of Hamas's negotiating strategy. Israel's counterattack, while tough, would Israel still attack so violently without hostage interference?Perhaps Hamas is overestimating the hostage's influence on Israel.
Who will be the ultimate winner in this hostage negotiation?Does Hamas, with the hostages in its hands, dare to hope to change Israel's position and strive for more favorable conditions?Or will Israel show their absolute strength by completely destroying Hamas by forceful means?Nothing is yet known, but the game will affect the future of the entire region. Hostages, is it the shackles that contain the negotiations, or the final force to break the situation?Perhaps, time will give us an answer.
In the midst of this hostage negotiation, we have seen a game between Hamas and Israel. However, Hamas's strategy seems to be caught in a dilemma. Israel's overwhelming attack makes the hostages an unshakable bargaining chip, as Israel doesn't seem to care about the fate of the hostages. This makes Hamas's strategy of expecting peace or more through hostages almost unrealistic.
Israel's intransigence and Netanyahu's threats have underscored their intransigent stance on Hamas. In this conflict, the hostages appear to have been sacrificed, and Israel has chosen to ignore this humanitarian issue and meet the challenge of Hamas with overwhelming force.
Although Hamas tried to seek the initiative in negotiations through hostages, Israel did not care about the hostages, making this strategy a dilemma. Israel's indiscriminate attacks and disregard for hostages have complicated negotiations and made Hamas's plans more difficult.
Looking back, we see a complex situation in which hostages are the only bargaining chip in Hamas's hands, and Israel's attack modus operandi makes that leverage almost useless. Hamas may have overestimated the influence of the hostages in the negotiations, while Israel has demonstrated its sheer strength through heavy-handed means.
