It's clear, though, the focus up until now was on the military track and the diplomatic track and seeing how those tracks complement each other, as Hamas has shut the door now to the diplomatic track.
Mark Regev explains that Hamas's actions have ended diplomatic efforts and shifted focus back to military responses.

Frankly, we don't know. Israel is ready for an unconditional extension of the cease-fire. We've said so all along.
We had a chance yesterday to de-escalate. We tried that very seriously. Unfortunately, Hamas was not interested and just increase its attacks upon us.
Not the scope. The goal remains the same to stop those rockets coming in on Israeli cities and to prevent Hamas terrorists from infiltrating across the border through those tunnels trying to kill our people.
There is no excuses for it. And we have to look into this. We paid for our mistakes on October 7th in blood, in the blood of over 1,200 Israelis who were -- who were murdered, and another 240 that were kidnapped and taken to Gaza.
