Israel's refusal to acknowledge its West Bank presence as an occupation since 1967 adds complexity. The primary concern surrounding this new campaign is the safety of hostages still held by Hamas. The implications of such military action and the terminology used regarding occupation raise important questions about Israel's strategy in both Gaza and the West Bank.
