Channel 14’s Tamir Morag – Israel’s Current Pressure Tactics on Hamas Significan…

1. Israel has abandoned its previous stance that “all negotiations will take place under fire”—this is a fact. Why? Mostly due to U.S. pressure to “give it another chance.” The American administration genuinely believes that Hamas might surrender and disarm before Gaza is completely destroyed, though they still support flattening the strip if Hamas refuses to give in. Either way, the current situation—where there is a ceasefire without hostage releases—must change, and fast.

2. Halting humanitarian aid has been a major pressure point for over a week now. Hamas’ food reserves are depleting quickly, prices in Gaza are already soaring, and a severe food crisis is expected much sooner than some media estimates suggest.

3. Cutting off electricity today is a step in the right direction, but it’s less dramatic than it sounds. Here’s why:

Nearly all electricity in Gaza is generated locally through fuel-powered generators. The only direct power line from Israel supplies electricity to Gaza’s desalination plants, which provide less than 20% of the strip’s water. The rest comes from three water pipelines from Israel (yes, even throughout the war, Israel has continued supplying drinking water to sustain its enemies).
Israel is now considering shutting down these water lines. The first pipeline likely to be cut off is the one supplying northern Gaza, which could trigger another wave of evacuations from the area. Cutting off water would be a significant pressure move, but as of now, it remains partial.
As for electricity, estimates suggest Gaza has enough diesel to run generators for another month or two. After that—darkness, or close to it.

Bottom Line:

The pressure on Hamas will only intensify over time, but for now, Israel is still in second gear. Cutting off water and resuming aggressive strikes (even without a ground invasion) would significantly increase the pressure on Hamas. If those measures don’t lead to hostage releases, the next step will be the full conquest, destruction, and dismantling of Hamas.

That’s likely where this is headed—because Hamas probably won’t surrender. The real question is how long this will take and whether more hostages can be freed before it happens.
