US and Israel Consider Comprehensive Gaza Deal

U.S. and Israeli officials are reportedly considering a new strategy for Gaza, shifting from a phased hostage release and ceasefire to an "all or nothing" comprehensive deal. This change in rhetoric comes amid stalled negotiations and increasing domestic pressure in Israel to secure the return of all hostages, with recent videos showing frail captives intensifying public concern. The shift also occurs as Israel faces international criticism for restricting aid, contributing to widespread hunger in Gaza. A former Trump administration envoy, Steve Witkoff, indicated that former President Trump now advocates for the immediate release of all living hostages, suggesting a "no piecemeal deals" approach. However, the feasibility of this "all or nothing" strategy remains uncertain, as Israel and Hamas are still far apart in their positions.
