And why are we negotiating to permit criminal terrorists release from prison in exchange for innocent Israelis? We are only incenting terrorists to kidnap Israeli innocents in the future. Our children and grandchildren will never be safe…Galid for sinwar? Haven’t we learned? At least insert locator chips with audio inside the released murderers so we can hear released criminals’ evil plans and know their locations (if we release them from our prisons)! 🇮🇱💪🏻🙏🏻
Hamas never ever returns all hostages, they are their life insurance. When Israel will leave filadelfia corridor hamas will rearm and will carry more 7 of Octobers. They can smuggle remained hostages into other countries such as iran, turkey. We will never see these hostages again. It is my view.
Hamas should not be allowed a single ‘condition.’ Terrorists. Any condition means every enemy will know the worth of murderous massacre and taking hostages.
“From day one—October 7, 2023—Israel’s twin goals in Gaza were fundamentally irreconcilable. Israel could not, as its leaders pledged, simultaneously destroy Hamas and secure all of the hostages’ release. The terrorists who regarded the hostages as the key to their survival would hardly give them up for less than an Israeli commitment to end—and therefore lose—the war.”

Also this morning (Australian time) another thought crossed my mind - the current government IMHO signed a death sentence as Likud's voters will not forget that Bibi bended under the pressure of oppositions and their cohort but also under international pressure. And all these lefty mob will not vote for Likud whatever Bibi does or doesn't. So Likud looks like a loser and the mob as a winner together with hamas.
I sadly tend to agree with you here. Hope that there is more behind the scenes that we do not know (of course) that would justify this and that we will get to know it after Jan 20. Hope. It protects me.
I find the timing of this deal the most troubling and cannot help but wonder if PM Netanyahu has been handed his own personal "Sophie's Choice" by the incoming Trump administration, although the deal smacks much more of Obiden somehow and I cannot make sense of it at all.

Thanks for this, Sheri. It's so hard trying to explain this to well meaning people outside Israel.
It's hard even for us, as well.

Yes. That is the fear.

Israel comes first!

This is exactly what I thought all the way through and I wished they never said that -- about these two goals. They are mutually exclusive.
