“Pause” ends tomorrow. Anyone else filled with dread ?

A month and a half after they’ve not managed to do what they wanted to do (only by negotiating with Hamas they’ve managed to release the hostages) and they’ve killed nearly 20k people. I think that’s enough reason to sit down and talk rather than to Continue with more deaths and destruction

Agree. Even during the "pause" all Gazans were doing was finding pieces and limbs of their loved ones. While waiting for Israels next set of atrocities.

Did anyone see Dr Ghassan Sittas press conference? Heartbreakingly awful. Israel has outdone even itself in its violence towards Palestinians.

Don't be so naive.
Israeli government considers the palestinains complicit. Thye refer to the civialins including stone throwing children as terrorists. They have been taking civilians as prisoners under administrative detention for years. This will not end with Hamas. As long as Israel continues its despicable treatment of Palestinians then more and more groups like hamas will continue to form. It's a vicious cycle

Seems like it’s been extended

I know, it fills you with dread the incessantly hostile actions of Hamas.

The ceasefire will be extended if they continue with the hostage release - problem is Hamas themselves admit they don't where many are - several different terrorist groups crossed into Israel and took hostages. They've already breached terms by releasing one girl without her mother saying they didn't know where she was and yet the child herself said she was with her mother until 2 days before. They aren't in control - seems like the hostages released so far have been kept in relatively ok conditions by Hamas - bet the same can't be said for the young women held by other groups....and I should think Hamas knows when the truth is known for sure the bombs will fall

There will be a ceasefire when all the hostages are returned and when Hamas hands themselves over to Israel.
Or when Israel kills Hamas leaders.
And there is now a further 2 days truce ... hopefully we will get to the end point sooner rather than later.

Why would the IDF stop?
What are the consequences for Israel if they do or don’t?
The only thing that might extend the pause is if Hamas have hostages to barter, when that ends, so will the pause.

Must be a terrible feeling for those released from Israeli jails. To think they're "freedom" has cost so many people their lives

Im sure they are relieved to be home & some will have to start processing losing their loved ones.

Didn't take long

When are Hamas planning to release the rest of their hostages? And stop firing rockets into Israel?

It shouldn’t be a pause. It should be a stop. Hopefully they’re working towards it

Must be a terrible feeling for those released from Israeli jails. To think they're "freedom" has cost so many people their lives.
And its still not the end

Yes.
I’m scared Israel is just going bomb Gaza double the amount.
And are just more angry now.
I’m sure they weren’t happy with this pause at all.

And it must be so scary for people in Gaza waiting / going back to being bombed.
I mean, knowing what is coming, having this ’pause’ and seeing the damage what has already been done and it all starting again.
I don’t even have any words at this point.

I am full of dread as well. Might need a bit of help to get to sleep tonight.
