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.

Who the heck monitors fuel going into Hamas controlled areas? Etc.

No drones — below a certain altitude?

Hamas has no vehicles left to use fuel. Fuel can’t be moved into the bunkers because it is being watched by omnipresent IDF drones.

Hamas exists underground

IMHO this was almost certainly done under enormous pressure from the Biden regime. Its hard for me to believe that Benjamin Netanyahu, of his own accord, would agree to such a one-sided cease fire.

If the Biden regime had Israel’s back, they would be pressing for just the opposite of cease fire. They’d be calling for a speedy, full throttled Israeli offensive until Gaza was entirely occupied.

God says He will protect His people, but Bibi sure is fighting him as hard as he knows how! Israel needs early elections and Ben Gvir should be PM.

Da, fuel would mainly be for tunnel ventilation & power, maybe some weapons making. We do still see some vehicles operating in vids, however.

No drones, says the agreement. So for real time intel...? Very high altitude drones?

Is Israel allowed to strike if it sees violations? Or just complain?

They murder, rape and take hostages like animals, then we offer THEM a sweetheart deal of 150 for 50. I scratch my head.

Oh, Hamas can extend the cease fire 1 day for each additional 10 hostages released? So we might be talking a 20 day ceasefire? !

That is exactly one of the things that Hamas will try to do and a lot more too.

I agree that it's crazy to stop a war over hostages and the risks to Israel are very high.

On the other hand, there is not a lot of meaningful resupply that can be mobilized and delivered in 4 days given the situation on the ground in Gaza so resupply is problematic and the biggest play Hamas can make is to disrupt the pause for PR which is exactly the situation you are concerned about.

Hope the IDF has a plan to take advantage of their pause and to prevent Hamas from doing the same.

You are correct except for the fact that tunnel access is in large measure controlled by the IDF. Further, The fuel will be observed by drones and not make it to the tunnels.

Presently Hamas rats are pretty much trapped in their tunnels and have limited or no surface movement

On Fox (on YT) it was noted Hamas can extend the cease fire 1 day for each additional 10 hostages released? So we might be talking a 20 day ceasefire? !

Start @ 2:20 for this detail.

Again, no drones per the deal? Strikes on illegitimate fuel movements allowed?
