A Hostage Deal? We're Mainly Negotiating with Ourselves
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - Through our tears over the six murdered hostages, there's a sobering truth that cuts through the emotion: Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar doesn't want a deal right now. He needs the hostages to ensure his survival and to keep extorting us. His strategy is to wear us down. Israel should pursue Hamas leaders in Gaza and worldwide, just as we did the murderers of the Munich Olympics athletes in former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir's time - terrorists who also killed their hostages. A deal, as much as we wish for it, exists only in our imagination right now. There's no agreement on the table. We're mainly negotiating with ourselves.
