Retired Colonel Miri Eisin, a senior fellow at the International Institute for Counterterrorism, emphasized that the recent ceasefire between Hamas and Israel does not mark the end of the conflict. Eisin explained that Hamas remains committed to its ideology and is unlikely to change its stance toward Israel, continuing to pose a threat. She highlighted the difficult decisions facing Israel, including whether to persist with military operations or focus on recovering the bodies of hostages. Eisin also expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of international troops in managing the situation, suggesting that external intervention may not yield better results.
