Hamas is dealing with a massive loss to its forces and their capabilities are declining. Exerting more military pressure is the only thing that can expedite the release of our hostages in Gaza and help bring about a sense of security for Israelis who wish to live near the border. We cannot accept Hamas remaining the governing force in Gaza. The writer, a veteran Israeli journalist focusing on Palestinian affairs, is one of the creators of the TV series "Fauda."
