HAMAS released 4 women soldiers from Israel that were captured on October 7 during the invasion of a kibbutz. They have been held hostage since. Fortunately, they appear from the agreement to be alive, unlike the 1200 victims of murder when Palestinian terrorists of HAMAS descended on the unprotected region of Israel. Meanwhile, the Isralei army general in charge of defense and security, resigned under pressure because of his failure to prevent the attacks.
Media outlets have highlighted the return of HAMAS control in the GAZA strip which underscores Israeli security problems. Yes, the IDF has leveled 70% of Gaza structures; yes, they have killed tens of thousands of Palestinians; yes, the job will not be finished until there is no more HAMAS fighters to squeeze a trigger on a Chinese-made AK-47.
The IDF is using this pause to identify locations of HAMAS fighters and positions of arms caches that remain. This externally framed agreement will lastmaybe 6 weeks. However, the IDF will return to the attack phase instantly upon the termination of conditions agreed to by negotiators. At the same time, in the West Bank area adjacent to GAZA, the armed Israeli settlers will continue to harass and disrupt residents there in sharpdisagreement with the Israeli government. This in itself is a significant problem down the line.
As long as HAMAS holds hostages and continues to use them as bargaining chips at the table, the IDF will remain in force throughout GAZA. New HAMAS leaders? Great. You will be terminated asap.
