Pressures from outside and weakness at home may push Israel into a situation of not achieving its goals. The main trump card with which external forces are trying to bring about an end to the campaign is the abductees.

The truce will be so long - 30, or 40, or 60 days - according to the key of one abductee each day, that it is doubtful that Israel will be able to resume the war after it. Such a pause in the war will most likely lead to the dissolution of the unity government.
