Predictably, the U.S. is once again telling Israel to “take the win,” and bring an end to the war in a cease-fire-for-hostages deal. But the very idea is outdated since there is no longer a central Hamas leadership able to deliver a deal. Instead Prime Minister Netanyahu’s message is that Israel will deal separately with each local Hamas commander: Whoever will deliver our hostages can get his life and a safe passage out of Gaza in return. How will this play out, and what could it mean for other theaters—primarily Lebanon and Iran? Mike and Gadi discuss.
