Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip intensified on Monday after the declaration of war. As a result of the tension, a total of more than 1,000 people have been killed so far.

According to the Associated Press news agency, at least 700 have been killed in Israel and more than 400 in Gaza.

Palestinian militant groups have claimed to have detained more than 130 people from Israel. Israeli forces are fighting for the third day to push back the Hamas militants. The army says it is fighting Hamas in "seven to eight" locations in southern Israel.

​ The case of Israeli hostages in Gaza, a political trap for Netanyahu?

The hostage-taking of dozens of Israeli soldiers and civilians by Hamas militants has hurt Israeli sentiments more than any other crisis in the country, while also a difficult situation for the far-right government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. has been born

According to the American news agency AP, the militant organization Hamas took an Israeli soldier, Gilad Shelat, hostage, which caused a lot of anger in Israel for years. Israel released more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of Gilad Shelat.

This time, Gaza's Hamas rulers took dozens of Israeli civilians and soldiers hostage in a surprise attack on Saturday.

The militant organization Harak al-Jihad Islamic Palestine has said that it alone has taken 30 Israeli citizens hostage.

The hostage-taking of Israeli citizens has increased pressure on Netanyahu and his allies, who are already under intense pressure to respond to the killing of more than 700 Israelis in a Hamas attack.

The Israeli Prime Minister had expressed his determination to use the full force of the army against Hamas, which has raised concerns about the safety of Israeli citizens held in undisclosed locations in the Gaza Strip.

There will be challenges in locating the Israeli hostages in Gaza, as Israel's intelligence agencies failed in the Gilead Shelat case as well.

Experts say that Gaza is a small area that is under constant air surveillance and is surrounded by Israeli ground and naval forces, but only an hour away from Tel Aviv, this area is clear to Israeli intelligence agencies. no.

"We don't know where the Israeli citizens are being held," says Netanyahu's former national security adviser, Yaakov Amderor. But the issue of Israeli hostages will not stop Israel from bombing Gaza until Hamas is destroyed. '

According to Israel's human rights organization Betsalam, Hamas has already said that it wants the release of about 4,500 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons in exchange for hostages.

The issue of imprisonment is perhaps as emotional for Palestinians as it is for Israelis. Since Israel's occupation of the West Bank in the 1967 Middle East war, approximately 750,000 Palestinians have ended up in Israeli prisons. Most Palestinians have either spent time in Israeli prisons or know someone who has.

The Palestinian Authority, which administers parts of the occupied West Bank, uses about eight percent of its budget to support people in prison or their families.

Khalil Shaqaqi, director of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, says that the release of any prisoner would be a big deal for Hamas, which would strengthen its position and further reduce the power and legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority. will

However, Gil Talsher, a political affairs expert at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, says there is no chance that the current government will agree to release Palestinian prisoners.

He said that the extremists in Netanyahu's government want to destroy Gaza.

Netanyahu's government rejected an offer by opposition leader Lair Lapid to form an emergency national unity government.

According to Gil Talsher, the rejection of the offer made it clear that Netanyahu did not want to give up his ultra-nationalist government.
