Hamas is Left Alone&#8221;"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Two and a half months after the start of the ground maneuver in Lebanon and about a week since IDF forces entered the buffer zone along the Syrian border, a senior government official assessed that &#8220;we are not there yet, but the end of the war is nearing,&#8221; as reported this morning by <em>Israel Hayom.<\/em> According to this senior official, several factors indicate that the end is approaching. He stated: &#8220;The most significant one is that Trump wants to see the end. This administration creates opportunities.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Numerous reports about a possible hostage deal have surfaced recently. On this matter, the senior official said: &#8220;The war will not end before Trump enters the White House, but as long as the axis is severely weakened and the situation in Lebanon remains stable, perhaps even a hostage deal being formed could lead to the end of the war.&#8221; He further added: &#8220;The deal is progressing. Hamas is the only party that has resisted a deal until now. Already in September, we heard all the top American officials say that Hamas is blocking a deal, but the changes in recent weeks have made them move. The Iranians suffered a severe blow; for two months, they threatened but ultimately did nothing, and Hezbollah is out of the equation. Add to this Trump&#8217;s threats, and you can see that Hamas is left alone. This impacts them.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Netanyahu: &#8220;We Will Continue Tirelessly to Bring All the Hostages Home&#8221; <\/strong><br \/>\nPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted last night on the X network, writing: &#8220;Hamas&#8217; propaganda video campaign is cruel and malicious psychological warfare. I am in continuous contact with the families of the hostages, who are enduring a terrible and prolonged nightmare. I have said and I repeat: whoever harms our hostages \u2013 their blood is on their heads. We will continue to work tirelessly to bring all the hostages home, both the living and the fallen.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7rAVMUoZWa0?si=U_lC9goUrh164c5q\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Prime Minister referred to Hamas&#8217; propaganda videos and wrote: &#8220;Whoever harms our hostages \u2013 their own blood is on their heads.&#8221; | A senior government official commented on the future of the war: &#8220;We are not there yet, but the end of the war is nearing.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":11627,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,8,6],"tags":[1476,1477,1482,1475,1809],"class_list":["post-11626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-idf","category-politics","category-security","tag-gaza","tag-hamas","tag-hostages","tag-idf","tag-oct-7"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Senior Government Official: &quot;The Deal is Progressing.
