If talks fail again this time, the order will be issued: Maneuver to the last stronghold of Hamas - voila! news. At this stage, the political echelon is busy upgrading the international legitimacy for a broad operation in Rafah and the central camps.

The Americans are making efforts to postpone the maneuver. They are putting very heavy pressure on the Qataris to push Hamas to advance the hostage deal. Decisions on the continuation of fighting against Hezbollah will also have to be made. "This will be the real test of the government and the General Staff," says an official.
