Political source: only intense military pressure will force Hamas to reduce its demands

The Prime Minister met today (Thursday) with the head of the CIA together with the Director of the Mossad, the head of the National Security Council, and the Prime Minister’s military secretary in Tel Aviv. The meeting took place after the intelligence chiefs and their teams met with each other.

According to a political source, the “maximum pressure” policy of the Prime Minister, strong military pressure and aggressive pressure in negotiations are the only way to force Hamas to soften its demands and free the hostages it has held since the Oct. 7 massacre.
