He stated that Hamas is exploiting the relative calm to strengthen its military capabilities, which may complicate the situation for Israel in the event of renewed fighting. Meanwhile, the hostages continue to suffer in harsh conditions in tunnels in Gaza, and U.S. pressure on Hamas to return them is increasingly diminishing.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_16155\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16155\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tamir-hayman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tamir-hayman.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tamir-hayman-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tamir-hayman-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tamir-hayman-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tamir-hayman-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tamir-hayman-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tamir Hayman, Head of the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) | Photo: Avshalom Sassoni\/Flash90<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n&#8220;The ultimatum serves Israel&#8217;s interests despite the inherent risks,&#8221; Hayman wrote. &#8220;We must take advantage of the current momentum to exert maximum pressure on Hamas and prevent a situation where Israel loses attention and maneuverability in the political arena.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hayman concluded by calling on the political echelon to make swift and decisive decisions: &#8220;Israel must choose between continuing the false calm or taking clear action that will lead to the release of the hostages and ensure the security of its citizens.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The head of the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) has called for a clear ultimatum to Hamas: the release of all hostages in exchange for a permanent ceasefire, or a return to high-intensity fighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":16154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,6],"tags":[1476,1477,2631,3051,1480,3080],"class_list":["post-16153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-idf","category-security","tag-gaza","tag-hamas","tag-hostage-release","tag-inss","tag-israel","tag-tamir-hayman"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
