there's still the question of rafah. what do you think is going to happen in the next weeks about rafah? do you think the israelis are, indeed, going to invade, or do you think not? >> i would say that the unblinking eye of the media will shift back pretty quickly, as events hopefully settle down in terms of interstate warfare between israel and iran. eugene, you're right to put your focus, in particular, on rafah. i think the thing to watch here is the network of tunnels underneath all of gaza. about 400 miles of tunnels, this is where hamas trains, equips, organizes, directs, launches attacks. israel knows those tunnels are the military center of gravity here, so they're going to work their way through that tunnel complex. they're already doing it in the northern part of gaza. they're going to get after those tunnel systems, incredibly complex, under the area in the south, under and around rafah. the problem for them, quite obviously, 1.1 million gazans displaced into that area. the israeli military will need to come u

i think it's more a question of when, not if israel goes into rafah. you're beginning to see plans being made for moving out some of the gazan civilians. i think the most influence the biden administration can probably have here is not weather israel goes in, but how it uses military force, when it goes in, so i think we could be looking once passover ends sometime later, i'm going to say in may, potentially months of a fairly focused lower-level israeli military operation in rafah. i would be really surprised if we avoid that. i'm not real optimistic not just about the hostages, but about hopes for anything looking like a prolonged ceasefire. i just don't see it. indeed, funnily enough, the deal on iran where the israelis avoided doing anything big in retaliation for iran, i think has raised the pressure on netanyahu at least as he sees it for doing something fairly muscular in rafah. >> of course, hamas could release these hostages tomorrow and bring this to an end, but it won't because it's a terrorist at the time cult. that's the only leverage it h
