A truly fascinating article about what happened before Oct 7 and immediately afterwards. Delayed deals, frantic warnings, offers to release civillian hostages with no conditions.

Within the article is another article

"Hamas Actually Believed It Would Conquer Israel. In Preparation, It Divided the Country Into Cantons
Tens of thousands of Gazans have fled to Egypt since the war broke out, many of them members of the elite who are able to pay the enormous costs. I met old friends in Cairo who were still astonished at the messianic insanity that seized Hamas' leadership"

Since Hamas believed they could conquer Israel, it makes it more important that Hamas disarm and go with a new leadership that isn't Hamas to move towards peace.

Will Hamas be elected again?
Will Netanyahu's government be elected again?

Will peace be gained for the good of the majority of both Gazans and Israelis?

Who knows. There are many wrongs. It looks currently impossible for peace, especially with Iranian proxies attacking various countries in the Iran/USA conflict.
Saudi targetted again by The Houthis. The Yemanese government are attempting to deal with The Houthis. The Lebanese government are attempting to deal with Hezbollah.

So many conflicts, so many victims.

God bless the innocents from Israel and Gaza. October 7th was a major error by Hamas, errors also made in understanding how committed Hamas were to trying to destroy Israel.
