Hamas Says It Agrees to Release All Hostages in Gaza

They technically started it LONG before that. Oct 7 was just the most recent last straw.
 
The release of the hostages won’t make much difference. The bloodlust of the Israeli savages can’t be sated.
 

Note the "and as the field conditions are met" qualifier.

I'll believe it, when I see it.

We heard this Trump crap with Putin's war, and we saw how that went.
 



Hams agrees only to some part of the peace plan.


If Trump relents and accept Hamas' proposal as it is , I would consider it a win for HAMAS and Trump will look weak.

Trump gave the peace plan as a whole package.
Therefore, for him to back down and have HAMAS cherry-pick on it would mean it is Trump who blinked.



I think - Trump will secure the hostage............... AND AFTER THAT.........he'll give Israel the green light.
I think that's why he immediately ordered the bombings to stop so the exchange of hostages can be done immediately.
It's only the hostages that's holding back Trump and Netanyahu.
I think - Netanyahu and Trump agreed to release that many Palestinian prisoners (along with those serving life sentences), is due to the fact that they'll be bombed along with Hamas anyway.


Trump will have the excuse that HAMAS couldn't be trusted.

It is a necessary step to ending the war.

No savages on the Israeli side.

In Gaza the civilians support Hamas and al-Qa'ida.

If Trump gets the hostages released, I will give him credit for that.

I'm okay with ending the war when the hostages are released.

I don't know the details of his plan. I understand that Hamas has not agreed to all details of the plan. I don't really care so long as the hostages are released.
 


He called it a "PEACE plan," not "Hostage-Release plan."

There wouldn't be any peace while HAMAS has power and rules in Gaza.


He may agree to the HAMAS counter-offer right now to release the hostages - he probably anticipated that from Hamas - but if he does, I think he has a plan B.
They know the psychological profile of HAMAS!

He'll want the hostages out of harm's way and back to their families.
After that - what's going to hold him back from giving Israel the green light?


Trump has the golden opportunity of getting rid of HAMAS.
I don't think he'll squander it.


He wants to be the US President to bring peace to the Middle East - and I think, that will be the most prized legacy he'd want to leave.

Nothing I guess. But once the hostages are released, there will also be no more reason for Israel to aggressively continue the bombing.

Limited vocabulary. Very limited.

There is the biggest reason for Israel to take GAZA: HAMAS!


Netanyahu knows Hamas is almost defeated.
You think he'll stop now.......................with, or without the backing of Trump?


What did all the dead die for, if he won't finish the job when he can?

Hamas has agreed to release all the remaining Israeli hostages but says it wants further negotiations on a number of key points outlined in the US peace plan.

Hamas says it agrees to release Israeli hostages but seeks changes to US Gaza peace plan

The 20-point proposal seeks to end the fighting immediately in return for the release of hostages and detained Gazans.

World wide condemnation at the very least.
 

This is in response to a proposal from president Trump.​

Trump and his “all hell will break loose” promise again. Actually, Netanyahu made Hamas an offer it could not refuse:

'Lay down your arms - if you do you will live, if you don't Israel will hunt you down'​

Is there ever a 'last straw' for Palestinians? Or do you just think they must just continue to bear, ignore, and forget, Israel's incessant terror attacks against them? And by incessant, I mean from the inception of the state of Israel, until now, unrelentingly.

Right now, there are Jewish settlers conducting terrorist attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank. There's no Hamas there. Why are they doing that? Because thats what they do, because thats what they have always done, and noone has ever made them stop.

Let us recall that Isreal was founded up Terrorism, as the the illustrious Albert Einstein pointed out, because its founding father and first president belonged to the Freedom Party, an openly and proudly Terrorist Zionist movement with a long aggressive and barbaric ideology. THe Freedom Party, by the way, became Likud, and Likud btw, continues the terrorist and genocidal practices of Israel's founding Freedom Party.
 
Getting these innocent hostages released is an unambiguous win, if it happens, for Israel and for America, since one of the hostages is an American.

Getting them released is also a win for the Palestinian people, because it takes away some of the excuses Israel has to do harm, and makes it more clear that Hamas amounts to nothing and far worse than nothing.

But Israel and the U.S. still have a great, gleaming opportunity to snatch Defeat from the jaws of Victory, by thinking somehow that the hostages were a restraint, and now is the time to pulverize the Palestinian people. Such mindless cruelty would far worsen their strategic position for many years to come, just as the mindless cruelty of Hamas worsened their own position.

The right way to exercise power now is with the carrot, not the stick. Food, water, shelter, SAFETY, in communities democratically run by Palestinians who aren't terrorists. Whether that can happen in the current location remains to be seen, but making it happen somewhere is the only path to true victory.

Gee dude, if that were true Hamas wouldn’t have been continuously humiliating Israel for the last decade plus.
