The White House wants Israel to delay its ground operation in the Gaza Strip to allow more time for negotiations to release the hostages held by terrorists there and for aid to enter the Palestinian enclave, several unnamed US officials told The New York Times.
Officials said that the US is not asking Israel to abort the ground invasion but is advising it to wait, and that Washington still fully supports Israel’s aim to destroy Hamas in the wake of the deadly onslaught.
Nonetheless, four senior Israeli defense officials told the Times the ground invasion has been repeatedly put off and they don’t know the reason why. Two suggested the wait was due to hostage negotiations.

Pick 'em off when we hear them giggle.
This may be true, but since Hiroshima...
Speaking of flames: I’ll bet Moloch is happy...

They're still waiting the 'correct' Messiah; so they have that going for them.
Which is exactly why Hamas released first two hostages and then a week later, another two. They can demand that the U.S. insist Israel hold back from any action while they regroup and plan their next attack all while dangling the chance of more hostage releases.
The more time that passes since October 7th, the louder they will exclaim any eventual retaliatory attack is unwarranted.
Israel meanwhile is being set up for another horrible attack. Israel needs to understand that many in the current U.S. administration do not have their best interest at heart.
reminder
we had taken all the islands around japan which was all but done for before the bomb was dropped
I seem to recall just how many American lives would have been lost if we had NOT dropped the bomb on this ' all but done for' nation of suicidal maniacs!
While our various military units have a no man left behind mission statement, they WILL send troops into a situation where they KNOW they will not likely return.
Since Hamas killed more people than they captured; they may as well be considered dead now and just do what needs to be done .
One last comment.......
In this day and age the concept of secrecy is non existent.
What Israel knew and did not know is in fact a military secret
you are missing the subject, which was the necessity to take ground to win a war. So your comment, while right, is off topic.
There is “no question” that in the absence of a medical emergency, abortion is against Jewish law.
We shall see how that turns out?.
Every morning I wake up and think today’s the day Israel is gonna crater them into hell. But of course old calamity, Joe sticks his foot into it again it’s not enough that he caused all this pain now he wants to prolong it and send our enemies millions and millions of dollars more to use against us. I don’t know how much more we can take.
