My advice to Hamas is; make a deal now. As the war progresses and Israel will win, because this is the template and the direction the war is going on, the seriousness of the Hamas bargaining strength will diminish.
The further we go down the road, the less Hamas will get for its hostages.
This means, less breathing room in Gaza, more restriction by Israel.
If we go down a month or two in this direction, Israel will be in a very strong position, both in the war, and in the eye of the world public, due to a string of wondrous victories.
G-d is with me, and if Israel follows my lead, it will fight with G-d on its side.
Yet, I do not want war, I want peace, so please do the calculations, you are very wise.
Make it so, that you gain trust by allies, and do not loose it again, and a material gain in terms of freedom.
G-d bless the peace we will have, soon.
