article

the weird thing is that Israel's government is being confusing - the ceasefire is meant to be lasting but they have vowed to invade Rafah anyway until Hamas is toppled.

Sounds to me like Netanyahus government wants to trade hostages to appease protesters and voters, and then continue flattening Rafah anyway.

The deal has always been a temporary ceasefire in exchange of hostages.

The deal Israel wants, anyway.

Yeah, because giving up your only leverage permanently in exchange for what basically amounts to pressing pause on the genocide is SUCH a good deal!

Hamas might be despicable terrorists, but presumably they're not total idiots!

That's the worst deal since the Dutch sold New Amsterdam (now New York) to the English for a bunch of nutmeg! Nutmeg was hella expensive back then 😛

I bet the person who got all the nutmeg thought it was a great deal
