Israeli Government Approves Deal: 4-Day Pause for 50 Hostages
Breitbart ^

Posted on 11/21/2023 2:12:17 PM PST by Paul46360

The Israeli government approved a deal Tuesday night that will see the Palestinian Hamas terror group release at least 50 female, child, and elderly hostages over four days, in return for a pause in the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

In return, Israel will release a greater number of convicted Palestinians — though none who have been convicted of murder. Israel will resume the fight as soon as the hostages are delivered and the four-day period is over, as it works to destroy Hamas.

Looks like Israel is hell-bent on losing to Hamas and the Palestinians. That should please America Jews to no end.

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize there were no drones in the deal.

I’ll take that to mean that the IDF has Hamas bottled up in the tunnels with no where to go.

Regarding other vehicles. The many videos I have seen show Hamas land to be dust and chunks and tangles with new dirt roadway graded by the armed IDF bull dozers. Hamas can’t move about much if any

Yeah, it's unwise to negotiate hostages with terrorists in the middle of an existential war and kind of a crazy deal if the terms are correct.

I kind of doubt that many hostages are still alive so 20 days are a stretch

As with anything in war, everything depends on how both sides execute their respective plans and respond to the acts of the enemy.

Hope the IDF has a proper plan in place and that they know what they are doing.

The saddest of the facts of this already sad affair is that Israel's true enemies are outside members of the “world community” that is working hard on engineering Israel's destruction.

Time is on their side - not Israel's, and this agreement is Hamas prevent defense to stall until their world community allies can mobilize and block Israel.

Much of the war from an Israeli perspective is winning the propaganda war for world opinion

And the world community and world opinion does not give a darn about 250 Jews held hostage by Hamas terrorists so not real win here for . If this goes bad in a big way it is a self inflicted wound on the part of Israel.

So what happens after 4 days? I guess they start bombing the crap out of the POS hamsasses again. I bet they start bombing after the first day because the hamsasses won’t deliver any hostages.

What about all those fleeing Gazans the last several days? Lots of vids of them, too, some in vehicles...

Some areas in the North are as you say, but even there, when the babies were evac’d from the al-Shifa hospital, they were in van type ambulances on usable streets / roads.

Given the apparent “additional day for each additional 10 hostages released” I’d expect Hamas to release some and string things out.

There a Gaza citizens and Hamas. The IDF controls all the roads. The IDF wants citizens to evacuate. I’m pretty sure that movement is under surveillance to exclude Hamas troops.

The Question now is where are the people going to go once the IDF begins the real attacks on Hamas in the south?

It incentivises the taking of hostages. When the savages plan for round 2 after Israel calls it quits, they will now know that all they have to do is grab Israelis. No need for a full on rampage. Does the idiotic Israeli leadership know what it has done. Someone needs to to tell Israelis ‘Its’ ok, you don't have to be more noble than any other army in the history of warfare. You'll be hated regardless’

So 150 Muslims for 50 hostages.

Does anyone elese think that sounds like the Constitution:

“The Constitution’s “Three-Fifths Clause” dictated African-American slaves were to be counted as less than full persons for determining direct taxation and representation in the House of Representatives.

Proof positive that taking hostages is to the terrorists’ advantage.

This is a stupid deal. Just gives Hamas more time and munitions to keep fighting.

The world is, has been, and always will be against Israel. However the victory is the Lord’s... they are his son and his inheritance by an everlasting covenant.
