I don’t think this deal favors Israel. I think it’s just another “deal” to tie Israel’s hands while the muzzlimes get an opportunity to regroup and rearm. It would also provide a large incentive to kidnap more Israelis as bargaining chips. No, unfortunately, Israel has to wipe out Hamas and every single Gazan with unfettered hands.
I hope Israel ignores these “American negotiators”.
NYT propaganda!
This is only to try and vilify Israel for defending itself…as usual.
It'll reward terrorism. Better to pay the price now. Or the price will be much greater in the future.
In WWII, we knew Japanese hell ships were transporting POWs sometimes. We knew POWs were in Japan, being used as slave labor.
We still had our subs sink every cargo ship we could find. We still bombed Japan. We still nuked Hiroshima. 12 American POWs died in the blast.
It’s tragic, but you have to proceed as though those hostages are dead. Try as hard as you can to save any you can. But stopping the whole war because of hostages only guarantees hostage taking will continue and increase.
