Hamas Under Pressure Amid Gaza War

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserts that Hamas is under significant pressure due to ongoing Israeli military actions, pledging to intensify efforts to bring home all hostages and achieve Israel's war aims. Concurrently, CIA Director Bill Burns reveals that Yahya Sinwar, Hamas' leader in Gaza, faces growing pressure from his own commanders to agree to a ceasefire due to the suffering in Gaza and internal fatigue with the conflict. Burns emphasizes that both Israel and Hamas should capitalize on this opportunity to negotiate a ceasefire, highlighting a fragile possibility for a resolution. Despite these pressures, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh has temporarily withdrawn from indirect talks, citing recent Israeli attacks, but indicates willingness to resume if Israel shows seriousness towards a ceasefire.
