Israel must retain operational freedom to finish dismantling Hamas's military infrastructure and counter Iranian threats, as roughly 30% of security objectives remain unfulfilled. Diplomatic solutions alone cannot guarantee regional stability when hostile actors still possess military capabilities. Premature withdrawal risks squandering hard-won security gains and leaving threats unresolved.
Hamas's proposal for weapon management with international guarantees offers a viable path to sustaining the ceasefire without further bloodshed. Disarmament through pragmatic diplomacy and an international stabilization force can achieve security goals more effectively than continued military operations. Forcing immediate surrender risks collapsing the fragile truce that has already saved countless lives.
