The temporary pause agreed to in order to secure the release of some 50 hostages from Hamas hasn't even gone into effect yet, and the terrorist government is already breaking the terms.
Early on Thursday, it was reported that Hamas had postponed the deal for reasons that weren't immediately apparent. Speculation centered on whether the terrorists could even locate the hostages they were promising given how splintered the factions inside Gaza are. There is no central hostage repository because some were taken by civilians, some by Hamas fighters, and some by other terrorist groups. The new timeline is a ceasefire going into effect on Friday morning with the hostages beginning to be released that afternoon.
Unfortunately, the problems don't stop there. Hamas is openly flouting one of the agreed upon aspects of the deal. Namely, the admission of the Red Cross to physically give the hostages health and wellness checks.
This should surprise absolutely no one. Hamas was never to be trusted, and it was just a matter of time before they moved to blow up parts of the deal. The question is whether Israel will put up with this or simply throw its hands up and get back to destroying the terrorist government.
Certainly, it feels like Hamas is testing the waters, seeing how far they can push things. You can bet your mortgage that this won't be the only provocation involving the deal. With the four-day ceasefire predicated on a slow release of hostages over that period, games will no doubt be played.
In the end, none of this should change the long-term strategy of fully destroying Hamas. A ceasefire makes that more difficult, but it may be worth it if women and babies can be brought home. Pressure to keep the ceasefire permanent will become heavy, and it must be ignored. There is no peace to be had with Hamas.
Weren’t most of the hostages taken by Gazans (citizens not directly affiliated with Hamas)? I mean wasn’t there some BS from Hamas that the worst atrocities were committed by Gazans who joined the free for all once Hamas got started with THEIR murder campaign? We can’t really call Gazans para military, since the Hamas animals are themselves stateless murderers and every private citizen in Gaza is potentially a murderer by definition.

During the hiatus, Hamas communications will be monitored by the IDF to learn where to strike when real fighting resumes.
negotiating with terrorist murder gangs like the Fakestinians is a losing proposition no matter what
it only rewards and encourages them to launch more attacks and to kidnap more innocent people as hostages
since IT PAYS FOR THE TERRORISTS
you gets what you pays for
you get more of it when you pay more for it
a clear policy of No Deals With Terrorists
and
no more financial aid gifts to terrorists like PLO-Abbas-Fatah
and
no more weapons to terrorists like PLO and Hezballah
would help all decent people everywhere sleep safer
No, I'm talking about the post-Oct 7th IDF - where I think "wokeness went to die".
Write off
Not so cold - fast
Of course Hamas is breaking the deal. They had no intention whatsoever of abiding by it.
Muslims call it the RED CRESCENT, not the Red Cross ... no joke
Hamas will save the American hostages for last to be released. They want to have the ace they can pressure Biden to pressure Israel to cease fire permanently
I heard a caller on a radio show call in and say, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will never be.”
I thought the job of the Red Cross was to pick up the hostages and transport them to hospitals?
I’d would bet the house that Israel will never be allowed to begin the war against Hamas again.
Hamas: Modern name for Nazis.
Nazi - fascism
Is forcing your esoteric religion
Ie. Marxism - evolution
On others
Pc diversity social engineering - supremacists
G Regrouping, repairing, rearming.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Like duhhhhhhh!
Who didn’t see this coming a mile down the road?
Popcorn!
Ho hum.
Cross- Christian, crescent- Islamic. Logical.
I hope.
The answer to that would be YES, I think most of them were dead by day 3 of the fighting.
