The winds of change are blowing fiercely through the lobbies of power in Gaza, where unhappiness mounts, and Hamas interrogates a new domicile in search of a deal releasing captured Israelis, which saves face for both of them. The unfolding of the event rattled the entire region and sort of seemed to give birth to talks of the moment and diplomatic manipulation behind the scenes.
Based on highly authoritative information, the leaders of the militant Palestinian group are in the process of seeking a possible alternative location for their command center, a factor that will impact the balance of power in the dominated region. The extent of certainty as to whether this potential relocation is on the agenda seems to be somehow concealed in secrecy mode. It is understood, though, that the decision, whatever it might be, is closely linked to the peace talks that are being held now. The aim is to deliver the Israelites captives without a shot being fired.
The captive issue has long been a bone of contention among regional players, demanding unremittingly high stakes of one party attempting to play a dangerous game with the other to get the upper hand. Nevertheless, the longer the deadlock persists, Hamas will be facing a very high burden, as there are several parties in the background who manipulate the situation.
Speculations say that there were reactions from significant regional players like Egypt and Qatar, who have been known for playing a key role in figuring out between the conflicting parties. Such rumors, if voiced, concern the supposed influence of this entity in the behind-the-scenes deliberations, where an entire range of artful bargaining and settling are undertaken to take into account the tangle of political and ideological interests.
The descendants of the hostages see an internal light of hope sparkling—not because of anything, just a diehard hope always first.
Thus, the diplomatic chessboard comes into play, with all the world’s glued to it, watching it like a cat with a mouse in its mousetrap, and hoping that any miscalculation will mean not only the unfolding of a crisis but also tilting the region’s stability from fragile to the verge of collapsing.
