Feel like once the hostages are handed over Israel will start bombing again

It’s interesting reading these posts, people genuinely seem to believe Israelis exist to just be mean to Palestinians. Such shallow thinking and weird little cognitive potholes.

Give the hostages back and once the ceasefire comes into affect observe the rules. Israel is an actual democracy and the majority of Israelis want an end to the war. Hamas don’t want to end it but the Qataris are now scared so they are going to try to enforce it.

The arabs and americans have done a stellar job to obtain a ceasefire and everyone should be grateful for this. The Palestinians I follow on twitter are bloody delighted.

Are there any circumstances under which you would consider that the Palestinians had broken the ceasefire? It sounds like there is no situation in which they can be held responsible for anything at all.

We’ll just have to see what happens in phase 2.

Yes, it also feels like Gaza has been so decimated there is nothing for these people to return to, so the aid situation will continue for years.

Trump obviously will get the land somehow. Probably shared with Isreal so they can make luxury mansions on land full of blood.

Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

I was struck by “once the deal is operating, aid trucks will surge through…” I thought they were insisting that aid trucks were never withheld.

Definitely. A kid will throw a stone or someone broke through the fence out of Gaza and that’s them claiming Hamas broke the ceasefire and bombing will restart.

This. There will undoubtedly be excuses from Israel to break the ceasefire. They will then claim that Hamas broke it. Netanyahu does not want peace, he wants Gaza and the West Bank. I want desperately to be proven wrong, but sadly I doubt it.

I wouldn’t trust either side to hold the ceasefire; I can’t imagine that this is the end of hostilities.

They have accepted the ceasefire.

I think as there will be international oversight of Gaza, so that Hamas don’t get a toehold again, peace has a good chance.
Obviously the Islamic terrorism against Israel will continue, but that should not trigger another war.

I'm aiming for cautious optimism myself....

Far to early for Nobel prizes too

”Hamas looked at us in a funny way so we had to start bombing again”

Don’t you have a reputable source?

Israel will not accept the ceasefire. They need the hostages back to keep other Israelis who are now protesting quiet.

Some pressure on Qatar, turkey and Iran seems to focus their minds.

In other news....Bellingcat reports that grain is being supplied to Yemen (houthis) from occupied ukraine, just as Iran was.

The settlers will continue their violence.

All eyes are on Israel now. I hope the protestors etc keep up the pressure to ensure that they stop behaving in the way they have been.

This didn’t start on 7/10.

Israel has broken so many ceasefires? Have you forgotten how this started two years ago? On 6 October 2023 there was peace. And for years Hamas has turned down the two state solution.

It is shocking that there are so few hostages alive. It not remotely surprising that more people have been killed during the period of negotiation. One side doesnt cease fire unilaterally at the start of negotiations. Its just not how it works.

Reputable outlets? Thanks for making me laugh early in the morning.

I’ve read your comments for months or do you think like Hamas ‘we aren’t very bright’ either?

I think that’s a really shocking statistic. I also don’t think for a minute thst this plan will succeed, although I would love to be proven wrong. Even if there is a temporary peace in Gaza, what will happen in the West Bank?

They will keep going if Hamas break the terms of the peace plan. And with Trump's blessing so it would be extremely foolish of Hamas to do so.

Still, Hamas don't seem very bright which is the worrying part.

No I haven't.

I only read reputable news sources so if you have one of those showing Netanyahu saying he controls America and Trump now, please link it.

You may have dreamt it or seen it on TikTok or something.

Bookmarking here to come back to hear you all say you were wrong about Israel in the event you are.

I think that if this ceasefire fails it will be because of Hamas. Ill come back to admit I misjudged Hamas if I'm wrong.

I think it'll hold. I'm choosing hope.

Hope both sets will find leadership over the next few years who will respect the other party and work in good faith for long term peace for both. Self determination for both. Freedom from political violence for both.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Yes, they will.

They will find some reason to keep going.
