Why Israel Resumed Attacks in Gaza, and Hostage Diplomacy – The Nationalist View Briefing

Miri discusses Israel’s resumption of military action in Gaza after a failed ceasefire. She clarifies that while global media claimed Israel broke the ceasefire, it was Hamas’ refusal to release all hostages that led to renewed hostilities. Miri explains that the primary Israeli goal remains the return of hostages and the destruction of Hamas’ terror infrastructure. While Israel succeeded in degrading much of Hamas’ capacities, the group still retains thousands of armed operatives and continues to rearm by leveraging both local resources and support from Iran. Miri highlights that Iran’s influence extends to proxies like the Houthis, who have recently launched missile attacks on Israel, with American and Israeli responses seeking to counter these threats.
