MEI’s Firas Maksad: Israel’s diminishing military returns may lead to diplomatic ceasefire agreement

“Clearly there’s a sense that the Israelis have reached a point of diminishing returns when it comes to the war. There is now less reward and greater risk ahead. Most major targets that the Israelis could have hit they have already hit. There seems to be a sense of urgency perhaps in Israel right now to want to capitalize on the military successes by scoring a perhaps political victory and starting to explore a political track to an agreement." - MEI's Senior Director for Strategic Outreach Firas Maksad to BBC News
