Days before coming into office, Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and hostage release deal that both Trump and President Joe Biden have sought to take credit for.

There is nothing in this "deal" for Trump to be celebrating. It's an utter disaster for Israel. They are releasing 1,900 Hamas prisoners back into Gaza, in exchange for 33 Israeli hostages, and Israel cannot even find out how many of the Israeli hostages being released are dead or alive! In addition, Hamas is continuing to hold 87 more Israeli hostages! This is absolute insanity by any measure and the writer of the article or blogster has to be a deep state mf'r on steroids.

If I were a cynic, I'd say Israel agreed to a temporary ceasefire so afterwards it can find and kill those 1,900 in Gaza rather than be stuck holding them for ever.

After this much time and combat, I doubt very many other hostages are alive.

I, too, think it’s a disaster for Israel. On the other hand, I don’t think Israel will have any compunction at all about killing any former prisoner who even looks sideways at a weapon, or has even been thought to have done so.
