Israel, Hamas being at odds caused deadly airstrikes: Retired major

() Retired Major Glenn Ignazio, a former Air Force Special Ops pilot, joined ” Now” to discuss Israel’s shattering of the ceasefire agreement with airstrikes that killed more than 400 people in Gaza.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the strikes after Hamas refused Israel’s demands to change the ceasefire agreement and release all remaining hostages.

Ignazio believes the two parties being at “complete odds” is the preliminary cause for the latest aerial attacks, with peace now uncertain.

“Who knows what it’s going to take to get this to stop again,” Ignazio said.

Ignazio believes that Israel receiving all of its remaining hostages would end the war but questions whether Gazans can pressure Hamas to complete such a trade.

“I just don’t see any stepping stones to the future of any kind of peace until some kind of hostage or hostages are released,” he added.

Both Qatar and the United States are working to ensure peace in the region, but it may be a harder task than realized.

“There doesn’t seem to be a separation between the Palestinian people and Hamas,” Ignazio said. “They seem very galvanized. … So it’s going to be a difficult task for Israel to actually do that and destroy Hamas.”
