Gaza City offensive risks hostages' lives with little chance of military gains

Israel intensified over the weekend offensive maneuvers meant to signal an imminent ground operation in Gaza City. Families of hostages, especially of live captives who are being held within the city, have received disturbing warnings from the Israel Defense Forces telling them that it will be difficult to avoid causing harm to these hostages. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump made remarks Friday suggesting that behind-the-scenes negotiations are underway for a deal to end the fighting in Gaza.
