Ok, this is my advice to Hamas. Do the deal.

Right now, Israel has a lot of prowess in the war. This is due to several factors. 1. Israel is on a war footing. Reserves are in, the IAF fighters are all veterans, the entire machine is working like an oiled entity. Hezbollah is nowhere near the IDF in terms of war footing. Hezbollah has no real veterans, and right now most of the leadership has been cut down. 2. Hezbollah are shiite and not sunni, this means, that the Arab nations have far less sympathy for Hezbollah than Hamas. Add to this Saudi Arabia is on the quagmire in Yemen, that is closely allied with Hezbollah, so a relief in this theatre is welcomed. 3. The rest of the world all know about Gaza, most people have no idea about Hezbollah, and if they see the leaders who are obviously not socialist, then they feel little sympathy.

All in all it gives Israel a pretty free hand in deteriorating the tunnels and rocket launchers from the air. Israel is not going to do the same fault and enter with tanks and so on. Intelligence combined with the IAF is a tested method, it keeps the civilians out of the war, and it is therefor acceptable for the international public.

So, Israel is winning the war.

The more Israel wins the war, the smaller the concessions will be in the deal that is eventually made.

So, it is really time to do a deal, the more time that goes, the less advantageous will the deal be.

G-d bless the will to find peace.
