After seven hours of discussion, the Israeli cabinet today approved a deal to release around 2,000 terrorists, over 100 of whom are serving life sentences for mass murders, in exchange for 33 hostages living or dead. 24 ministers voted in favor of the deal, and 8 opposed, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, as well as Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli and MK David Amsalem from Netanyahu’s Likud Party. The deal will take effect on Sunday, Arutz Sheva reported.
Josh Waller of The Israel Guys called the Hostage Deal “disastrous” and a “sinister scheme going on behind the scenes”.
"33 out of 98 hostages are being released, but that means there are still a lot of hostages being held”, said Rabbi Jeremy Gimpel, host of “Israel Inspired” podcast, on Josh’s show. “After all we fought since Oct. 7 – 840 soldiers have fallen, 917 civilians have been murdered, 77 police officers and security agents in Israel (have been killed). To bow to this evil, barbaric Hamas organization is a hit to the country.”

“Release ALL hostages or you will be completely destroyed.”
That would be my terms.
People have said it was really Biden Admin’s plan.
Agree. Really hard to see how this is a good deal for Israel and the rest of the civilized world. It is my opinion that Trump promised Israeli leaders the moon in terms of weaponry and/or foreign aid in exchange to get this deal; done.
I got 98 hours in the “Hamas Breaks The Cease Fire” pool.
How about the rest of you?
I am not a big fan of the deal, but “behind the scenes”. What, the Israeli cabinet did not know the details? I doubt that.
“sinister scheme going on behind the scenes”.
The “Qatar Investment Authority” paid nearly $623 million to acquire the Park Lane Hotel on Central Park South from Steve Witkoff’s company.
Israel doesn’t even know how many of the 33 being released are deceased. What if 29 of them are? Why couldn’t Israel specify all those released must be alive? Who were the negotiators on this thing? This is bizarre. It’s a total capitulation to Hamas terms.
none. ever. in all of recorded human history. iirc he said ALL hostages OR ELSE
Who is the idiot who thinks Wackoff forced anything onto Netanyahu and Israel. Oh, that’s right, the idiots at the gateway pundit.
Any deal that allows Hamas to remain standing and have de facto political control in Gaza will be in the long term a defeat for Israel.
No you got to stop blindly following the bomb throwing never been anything click bait clown show at GP
They are conning you with this click bait nonsense. Their only goal is to drive traffic to their game.
They have no serious adult commentary to add to any discussion.
Nonsense.
If Israel is a dependency of the United States they had better listen to what we say.
If Israel is not a dependency of the United States, they should do what they think best.
Which is it?
Therefore, it's all on the Israeli cabinet.
This will not last long. It takes the cost of keeping them prisoners off of Israel's plate. Once they are back in population they become ideal targets.
But for that volume coming from Israel's side being released, and not getting all of the hostages, is just plain stupid. Trump will not remain silent about this outrageously lopsided deal.
Terrible. Hamas would have released the captured by Monday had Israel and the US stayed strong in our demands. Israel had their war won and just like we did in Vietnam, dussenly made it a war to get prisoners back rather than to win. And so we lost that war and they will this war.
“ It’s a total capitulation to Hamas terms.”
Correct.
That’s not good.
Concern Trollin'.
I doubt the inauguration authorities have the ability to force Israeli legislators to do anything. Certainly no authority.
I also doubt Hamas will live up to anything agreed to.
This is what I posted on the 15th.

“Yes it is! But I hope Trump keeps his powder dry until he sees the whites of the hostages eyeballs before he gets cocky! We’re talking about monster evil murderers who love to play games and fool people …this can come back and smack Trump in the face if it does not go through. It’s best to keep mouth shut until you see the actual hostages in Israel soil! Yapping about it prematurely is not good. Don’t ever trust an evil demon! They’ll convince and fool you just to make you look like an idiot with egg on your face. I do not trust them.”
