Maariv, citing NBC:

U.S. officials have not specified what the United States might offer Hamas in exchange for the release of the kidnappers,

but Hamas may have an incentive to seek a unilateral agreement because such action could increase tensions between the United States and Israel and put additional domestic political pressure on Netanyahu.

Senior American official:

The unilateral agreement with Hamas will pressure Netanyahu to agree to the current ceasefire proposal

Senior US official to NBC:

The operation to free the four hostages will likely make it more difficult for Blinken's efforts to reach an agreement and release the remaining hostages

the hostage rescue has only strengthened Netanyahu's determination to continue military operations rather than commit to stopping the war.
