Israel is facing a critical choice in Gaza: whether to launch a full invasion, opt for gradual strikes, or pursue another ceasefire deal with Hamas. The government has been hesitant to make a decision, leading to a temporary ceasefire without any hostages being released. The IDF is being increasingly aggressive in small ways to intimidate Hamas, but it may be a cover for a hesitance to take bigger action. Ultimately, Israel will need to choose between a new invasion, a return to gradual invasions, or a diplomatic settlement with Hamas.
