Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar praises the renewed military campaign in Gaza, saying that without military pressure, the situation vis-a-vis Hamas would have 'remained stuck.' Sa'ar says that the present circumstances 'strongly reminded' him of the first 20 days of the war before the ground incursion into Gaza, 'when there was hope that maybe Hamas would agree to a deal. As long as we did not use force -- nothing happened.' While Israel made 'sincere efforts' to advance ceasefire talks, and 'President Trump's envoy, Witkoff, proposed two different offers,' Hamas rejected these proposals, says Sa'ar.
