Gallant Levinken: Hamas's response to the plan for the release of the abductees will lead to the expansion of the IDF's operation in the Gaza Strip. A senior Israeli official estimated that Israel would reject Hamas' response today.
According to him, the ball will go to the mediators, Qatar and Egypt, who will try to pressure the terrorist organization to agree to a more reasonable framework. Hamas demands release of abductees captured on October 7 in exchange for approximately 1,500 Palestinian prisoners.
