Very, very badly. You see that the Israeli prime minister and War Cabinet continues to say that no matter what happens with the hostages and a potential deal, and everyone's trying to get one done at the last minute, that the intention is still very much to fight on the ground there.

And beyond that, there's also the concern about Hezbollah. So I think the international response is going to be very negative.
