JERUSALEM, Israel — 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.

God Bless FRiend !
Well, at least Israel will have an opportunity for its air and ground surveillance assets to gather information as Hamas takes advantage to redeploy some of their members.
How much of whose money will change hands?
Praying they don’t show up like that kid Otto from NK
It should be the HQ in Dubai
Israel is facing increasing global pressure. As always they are being forced to be the “Nice guy”’with a gun to their head. The lesson is clear. You rape, kill and destroy but leave some alive so you can use them as leverage.
You can’t trust any Muslim country to honor any agreement. It is their nature to lie.
Absolutely. Hamas won’t release the hostages and flee south and flee with them.
Waiting to see just how Hamas screws the gullible Israeli leftist government. The only thing that is certain is that they WILL get screwed by this, good and hard.
Meanwhile the IDF soldiers need to change their cardboard signs from “Never Again Is NOW” to “Never Again Is Next Week... Maybe”.
So disappointing.
Negotiation and accord with a group that has committed crimes against humanity doesn’t seem like a good idea. I hope I’m wrong.
Needs to be all or none. Otherwise hamas will dole them out 50 at time for a unending cease-fire while they rebuild.
I watched videos on the tunnel smuggling operations at the border between Gaza and Egypt. It's insane, thousands of goods smuggled in each day through dozens of tunnels. You name it, they bring it in - refrigerators, couches, TV's, animals, even automobiles (parted out and reconstructed once in Gaza). Much of this is by civilians in Gaza, making insane amounts of money doing it. You betcha they move arms on behalf of Hamas, and get away with doing it. Egyptian border guards get a cut of the cash proceeds.
Gaza is maybe 5 miles by 20. Why does it take 5 days?
Stupid idea mostly... except it’s almost guaranteed the Israelis are using this for rest, resupply, and massive intel gathering.
All Hostages...
Yuppers.
.
True.
But yet, the Israelis (Charlie Brown) are uniquely obliged to act as if Hamas (Lucy) can or will honor an agreement (Football).
In other words, to adopt an internatio-political fiction that, if past is prologue, undeniably risks life and limb.
It’s not right.
How are they going to get resupplied? They are surrounded by Israel.
Thank you for an accurate update, please stay safe.
Hamas escape, repositioning, and rearming pause. Stupid ... so we can expect at least 8 more based on the 250 hostage count.
