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.

Move their folks around to protect them from Israeli attacks no doubt.

Never negotiate with terrorists.

Never negotiate with terrorists.

I'm sure Bibi agrees with that. But he's facing pressure from the Left in his country. And the Americans.

Israel should ignore all of that, and just press ahead full speed

They're a welfare state of the U.S.

Giving up 300 to get 50? Very shrewd bargaining there.
KJP will tell us all tomorrow, how Biden “hoodwinked” and “outsmarted” Hamas again, like he always has.

Internal political pressure on Netanyahu to get Israeli hostages released.

Horrible, incomprehensible, military mistake.

With a lot of arm twisting from the Biden/Obama regime whose loyalties to other countries in the Middle East are paramount. There are even reports that Anthony Blinken has been working on the destruction of the Israeli state./spit

Release 1/4 the first day and 1/4 each day after. If Hamas fails to produce the war is back on.

YUGE mistake!

I'm not so sure this is a mistake. Notwithstanding the intelligence blunder that allowed 10/07 to happen, I assume that Israeli intelligence is now monitoring everything in Gaza, and when the truce ends, they will have a precise understanding of whom and where they can target the enemy.

Not really. some of the highest IQ people on earth are giving 4 days to the lowest IQ types.
IDF will clean weapons, clean up details, get some hot chow to the men, etc.
They have a solid blockaid of the place. And rest assured, the IDF will use this as a chance to massively data mine for intelligence.
And IF any prisoners get released, they will be intensely debriefed for useful intel.

“Hamas has a six-hour daily window without IDF aerial surveillance over Gaza”.

And I got a bridge to sell you. Satellites will be watching. And there may not be a drone orbiting right overhead, but rest assured, planes can and will be sucking in elint from further away than nice people can imagine.

This ‘deal’ will spell the end of the current government.

I guarantee that hamas is cheering in their smoky tunnels.

It’s a trap.. but for whom>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Few know the IDF.

Guarantee you that the released Palestinian “convicts” will all be dead within a week after the pause.

The IDF will discover how Iran communicates and supplies Hamas and will destroy many Iranians, the pause will bring an intel bonanza.

And how will Hamas and Islamic jihad use the pause?

Hamas will construct many booby traps and IEDs during the pause, which will kill mostly their own civilians, whose deaths will be be blamed on the IDF.

The time for Israel to strike Qom ( Fordor nuclear enrichment facility)is nigh. It will happen in the blink of an eye.

The even acquiesced to a demand made by Sinwar. Neve again is now ‘Definetly Again. Israel’s friends will tire of these soundbites like ‘exact a heavy price’, degraded the enemies capabilities’ when it turns out to be complete bullshite. How many Israeli’s is Israel’s weak leadership prepare to trade for one hostage. Seems like they will offer the whole population just to earn some brownie points with the proponents of the notion Jews have to more moral than any other tribe. Israel might as wel replace its’ flag with a pure white one.

From a military perspective, the pause is probably not going to have that much of an impact, and any advantage gained will likely be for the IDF.

The big problem is that there is that there is huge pressure from the world community to help their Hamas buddies out so Israel only has a limited window time to get the job done before the world community starts to obstruct the IDF so it loses a few critical days of freedom to operate to wipe out Hamas. .

Well the cease fire is on Hamas. Israel and its IDF can still patrol waters and land crossings and pick off Iranian efforts to bring in more arms.

This is also a great time to up attacks on Hezbolla and other raghead terrorist groups

The big advantage that they’ll have is to quietly infiltrate the civilian population, and then draw fire on them, and then blame Israel, which the International Con-you-nitwits will take at face value, thereby giving them a pretext to obstruct the IDF, and Hamas will not be wiped out, just lick its wounds, steal “humanitarian aids” from the human beings it was supposed to aid, and start the whole thing over again. It’s already started.

‘Palestinian’ terrorist reveals in the investigation: “Hamas operatives place civilians on the roof of the house so that the IDF does not shell”

I stated in the 10/7 aftermath that ‘the hostages are already dead.’ Due to the IDF’s initial actions their value was questionable if they were applying the correct pressure to hamas (i.e., all hostages or nothing).

Israel just made the hostages who remain after this ‘deal’ priceless.

‘White flag’ indeed.
