In a gambit to cling to power, Hamas says it would strike a deal with Israel that would leave it ruling Gaza under the protection of an internationally guaranteed five-year truce, according to sources cited by international media outlets.
Under the proposed agreement, Hamas would release all remaining Israeli hostages in a single exchange—one of Israel’s key demands since the brutal October 7, 2023, massacre that ignited the current war.
The latest maneuver comes after Hamas rejected an Israeli ceasefire offer earlier this month, dismissing it as “partial” and insisting instead on a “comprehensive” arrangement to end the fighting. Israel, for its part, has remained firm: no final deal without the full return of the hostages and the dismantling of Hamas’s terrorist military infrastructure—conditions that Hamas has flatly declared as a “red line.”
An earlier Israeli proposal offered a 45-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of 10 living hostages. Hamas rebuffed that offer as insufficient.
More than a month into Israel’s renewed offensive in Gaza, launched after a temporary two-month ceasefire collapsed, Hamas negotiators indicated they are now willing to discuss “new ideas” during ongoing talks in Cairo. Still, deep skepticism remains over whether the jihadist group would truly comply with any disarmament, even under international supervision.

I think we should do it than blow them to smithereens. There’s no reason to play fair with them. of course the government cant pull this off without huge civil unrest in Israel etc
Now that Iran knows how to make uranium sufficticated bomb tip missiles if Israel let’s this happen they might be and to smuggle safely parts of an atomic bomb missile to the Gaza via yemen then to Egypt tunnel and they won’t miss the target with the best they got like with using the flying bikes in the dark night and to be safe they can possibly do it from Egypt, but it is the same, they will all just say “it wasn’t me” and not take responsibility, considering the consequences we will thank God for the katyushas
Watch the mass protests start. Stupid leftists can’t see beyond 3 feet ahead.
