The agreement is surprising. My stance would be Hamas must release all hostages before any ceasefire talks are possible. No prisoner relaese, period. Keep pounding away until they submit or are externmated.
I agree. This is a stalling tactic by HAMAS, giving them time to catch their breath and re-arm. Israel is in a tough spot. The animals could drag this out for months, if not years. They are in control.

Actually no. As always the world powers has a gun to their heads. They are forced to be the “nice guys” and fight a one arm war. 4 days is a ridiculous amount of time to release 50 hostages. It gives Hamas regroup time and more rapes for the women.
