The mediators pushing behind the scenes to promote a deal, each for their own reasons, are expected to push Hamas to the wall until it says "I want" - then the negotiations will officially open.
A political drama is expected in Israel that will shape the fate of the deal and the composition of the government. Netanyahu: "We are working to obtain another outline for the release of our hostages, but I emphasize: not at any cost"
