UN or Biden have their fingerprints on this?

[Ingtar]

probably the answer is Yes... for both.

[MustKnowHistory]

It’s a trap.

Is Hamas also promising to stop taking hostages?

Non-dead hostages appearing to be Hamas’ most valuable currency, and all.

Just askin’.

[Jaysin]

terrible reporting.

I live here in Israel and the deal has not been approved yet. it probably will be, but no it has not been approved for at least the next hour

[HYPOCRACY]

How does Israel find enough prisoners that want to be released into Gaza? I’d stay in prison over a certain death sentence.

[roving]

Why does everyone tell Israel how to fight a war? Israel is making a mistake.

[ridesthemiles]

First day==1 hostage ?

2nd day==2 hostages?

3rd day==3 hostages?

4th day==44 more???

I DO NOT THINK HAMAS CAN FULFILL THEIR SIDE OF THIS “BARGAIN”.

I See Politicians wanting a 4 day Thanksgiving weekend.

The flow of war materials into Gaza must be mind boggling.

Bibi is screwed. He will get 50 hostages back—none of which will be IDF soldiers—and many more soldiers will die from the arms being smuggled into Gaza during this four day pause.

I understand the PR aspect of this. I just think it’s stupid. But...I don’t have relatives being held hostage.

[Psalm 73]

This is somehow to IDFs advantage - not sure how, but they wouldn't agree to this unless it was.

Resupply/refresh forward units? Let HUMINT catch up to operations planning? Could be any number of ways this helps the IDF.

[mac_truck]

Good news...now get to work on creating humanitarian corridors for Gaza civilians and implementation of a more permanent ceasefire in the region.

Armageddon can wait...

[Rappini]

After the release of the hostages, IDF should drop a MOAB on their main HQ.

[Noumenon]

Bad idea.

[FLT-bird]

I can understand this from Israel’s perspective. At least they’re getting 50 of the hostages back. My understanding is arms are not flowing into Gaza because the Israelis have an iron grip on the coast, the air and all borders except the one with Egypt and the Egyptians are not smuggling arms in...and I think the Israelis would know if they were. It does give Hamas a little breathing space but a pause for release of hostages was probably always on the cards.

[Sarah Barracuda]

So Hamas gets what they wanted, hamas prisoners, to go back into battle for them

[pghbjugop]

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Hamas will provoke a shooting, say Israel violated the terms, not release all 50, make up excuses as to why they can’t, but will and 4 days will turn into 4 weeks then 4 ever. They will not comply, blame Israel for not being in good faith and then never return hostages. They need to tell Hamas, they will kill 10 hostages for every hostage not released over the next 4 days. It will be a secret between them 2 not the world to know. The mental inbred midgets will think they are getting over on Israel and look good in public opinion, then Israel continues its extermination.

[Spok]

So Israel is getting what for the rest of the hostages? Televised beheadings? ANY DEAL MUST INCLUDE ALL OF THE HOSTAGES!!

[magooey]

After what happened to the young lady hostage who had been injured with non-life threatening injuries but was then killed by Hamas before being discovered by the IDF, I have to wonder how many live hostages will be returned?
