Last time they had a ceasefire israel violated it within hours. And the IDF already re-kidnapped many the people that they released under the hostage deal.

Israel just got shit on by a single RPG strike, so I guess this is an attempt to quell domestic discontent.

Two Israeli officials said the Israeli war cabinet approved ten days ago the parameters of a new proposal for a hostage deal, which are different from past aspects of deals rejected by Hamas and more forward-leaning than previous Israeli proposals.

This stuff really doesn't happen that quickly.

Gee, I wonder what will happen the second Israel gets their hostages back and the "2 months" is over?

Do you honestly think they’ll wait two months. Once the hostages are released (maybe even slightly before all the hostages are released) the bombing will begin mmw.

Hence the double quotes. During the ceasefire someone in Hamas will stupidly fire a rocket not even in the direction of Israel, someone in Hamas will use it as an opportunity to catch Israel off-guard and fire a rocket towares Israel, Israel will lie and say a rocket was fired at them, or an IDF soldier will fire a rocket and say it was a Palestinian.

In all cases the bouncer from New Jersey will retaliate by slaughtering a massive number of women and children and maybe a combatant or three.

That asshole Netanyahu puts me more on Palestine’s side every day.

Fuck their two months. Permanent ceasefire or nothing.

I don't understand why Hamas doesn't just let them go. Israel has already shown that there's nothing to be gained from keeping the hostages. The international PR win alone would be worth releasing them at this point.

Hostages create internal turmoil against Netanyahu in the Israeli government. It also ensures that some aid actually reaches Gaza.
