"We will act in every way and with every actor to release the hostages. In every way. I saw humanitarian pressure as one way to release them. But we must act in any way that can lead to it. But it cannot hinder our actions (emphasis added), including the ground offensive, if we decide to do so, because that is what Hamas wants. What Hamas wants is for us to deal with the hostages and not have our military go in and eliminate their infrastructure. That's not going to happen, but we're doing everything se can to bring them home."
-------Israeli Energy Minister Israel Katz
Given the savageness of Hamas's initial attack, it seems more likely that Hamas actually wants Israel to invade Gaza, where it can inflict severe damage on the Israeli Army in urban warfare - the toughest kind. So Minister Katz, like the Israeli government in general, seems to be doubling down on stupid, i.e., the mass slaughter of civilians, which has proven over and over to harden the fighting resolve and ability of its opponents while strengthening solidarity with Palestine throughout the world.
