As talk of “Phase B” in Gaza fills international headlines, the reality on the ground tells a different story.
Hamas has violated the ceasefire, terrorist cells are re-emerging from tunnel areas, and Israel is responding with precision strikes, while Rafah reopens only under strict controls. An open crossing does not mean a free reality when Hamas still seeks control.
In this episode of Israel Beyond the Headlines, recorded at the Israel Government Press Office in Jerusalem, we unpack what Phase B really means and what it does not.
We also mark a historic and emotional milestone:
For the first time since 2014, there are no Israeli hostages held in Gaza, following the return of the body of the final hostage, Ran Gvili. It is a moment that defines Israel’s moral code never leaving its people behind, living or fallen.
Joining the discussion:
Shosh Bedrosian, spokesperson for foreign media, Prime Minister’s Office
Mati Shoshani, TBN Israel
We discuss:
Hamas ceasefire violations and Israel’s response
Whether Phase B is a transition or a Hamas survival strategy
The hostage mission and Israel’s ethical red lines
Why Hamas must be removed for any future in Gaza
The role of UNRWA, international pressure, and media narratives
