Israeli Strategy in Question as War with Iranian Proxies Expands

Prof. Kobi Michael: Without a major breakthrough in Gaza, there will be no breakthrough in the other arenas.

As long as Hamas has the responsibility and control over the supply of humanitarian aid to the civilian population, this creates the impression that Hamas is still the governing power and will remain so after the war, This can only be changed with a permanent Israeli military presence, making it responsible for the distribution of aid while preventing Hamas from regrouping.
