Channel 12 News' chief political analyst Amit Segal discussed the ongoing debate over Israel's response to Hamas following the recent breach of the ceasefire and the killing of two soldiers. Segal emphasized that continuing airstrikes is part of a recurring strategy, but the true challenge lies in achieving disarmament and demilitarization, which cannot be accomplished solely through aerial operations.

He presented two main approaches under consideration: one involving a multinational force with international and regional pressure to dismantle Hamas, and another favoring a ground operation by Israeli forces after the hostages are released. Segal noted that both options remain viable as long as they achieve the necessary goals, highlighting that the government's decision on this matter will be a critical test for Israel.

His comments followed criticism from Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli regarding the government's handling of Hamas's ceasefire violation.
