    "Israel’s acceptance of the terms of a hostage deal with Hamas late on Tuesday reflected the intense pressure brought by the Biden administration to reach an agreement that would free some of those held by the armed group and produce potential longer-term opportunities to de-escalate the conflict,” the New York Times reports.

    “The initial approval of the deal by the Israeli cabinet came after a ‘secret cell’ of top aides to President Biden worked furiously over the past several weeks on a web of negotiations involving Qatar, Egypt and Israel, an effort hampered by communications outages in Gaza and a series of last-minute disputes that derailed the talks.”

      “last minute disputes” were probably stuff like “we can’t find all the hostages to release, but we pinky promise we’ll get them to you before the end of the crease fire” -Hamas

          And here I thought we are helping innocent people who were kidnapped by rapists and murders escape their captures. You’re the kind of person who rips their posters off walls aren’t you.

                  So you think that justifies not rescuing hostages. Read some more.

                    Your reading skills need improvement friend, literally never said anything about the hostages that Israel is currently bombing the shit out of as if they were already dead because they literally have a military protocol for exactly that.

                    Why let a few of your own innocent citizens and foreign festival goers get in the way of a good putsch‽

                  Apparently you can’t read. It’s the Jordan River to the Mediterranean, and they want all Jews dead between those.

                    And what about the Arabs between the Euphrates and the Nile? Do the Israelis intend they get a nice holiday in Tahiti?

                    Also, Hamas wants the Jews dead, the Palestinians would accept outright annexation and becoming Israelis themselves if it meant having their human rights recognized and not having their hospitals and schools blown up all the time! Fatah was borderline negotiating for that before Netenyahu forgot the definition between a rescue mission and exterminatus.
