Not unexpected, but still another blow for the innocent people trapped in this. Hamas signed innocent people up to die when they planned and executed their attack on October 7th, and they're still condemning innocent people to death now. Healthcare and aid services are devastated. Nowhere in Gaza is safe. The innocent people they abducted and took hostage remain captive. Over 50,000 people dead in Palestine and Israel.

I just meant winning the war in the literal sense.

Are you saying that the Israeli army can continue killing Palestinians simply because they can- even if it doesn’t make them safer in the long term?

I mean obviously the IDF could continue fighting and they will do if Hamas don’t agree to their terms. If the war continues there will inevitably be many more civilian as well as military deaths. I hope this doesn’t happen & that Hamas agree to lay down their arms & release the hostages.

So why can’t Netanyahu accept Hamas’s terms? If his military leaders see no military advantage in not doing so?

I’m not him but I do know he has said one of his goals is to destroy Hamas in Gaza so I can’t see him accepting their terms can you?

from the family of hostages:

”Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is held hostage, says, “Soldiers are being sent to war without end, without purpose, and without concern for the day after.”
