Israel’s Cabinet has approved a cease-fire deal with the Hamas militant group that would bring a temporary halt to a devastating war now in its seventh week. The Israeli government said that under the deal, Hamas is to free at least 50 of the roughly 240 hostages it is holding in the Gaza Strip over a four-day period.
Yeah, there should have been continous condemnation of Hamas and stronger pressure on them to release all the hostages. Even after this deal, there are another 190 that may still be alive in Hamas’s cruel hands.
What? The whole point of having hostages was to negotiate for a ceasefire after the operation. It’s Israel who didn’t take rescuing hostages seriously (preferring to bomb them to death instead).
No, Israel is taking the russian approach to kidnapping after the last couple of kidnapping where they tried the western way. Seems to be working way better imo.
I thought the point was more human shields to cowardly hide behind. It didn’t deter Israel.
