The focus on the Israel-Hezbollah attacks has overshadowed the plight of the hostages, with their families feeling neglected. The hostage talks are at an impasse, and the question of a phased ceasefire is being challenged. The possibility of an 'all for all' deal is being considered as a way to revive the negotiations. However, there are differing interpretations of what this deal would entail and whether it would prioritize the hostages or Israel's withdrawal from Gaza. The impasse continues, giving Israel more time to hunt down the leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar.
