And phase one encompasses but 12 women and children, men ages 50 and older, two injured Americans, and two French citizens along with the bodies of those who died by Hamas' hand while being held. But remember, 250 hostages were taken on October 7th, and there's still no definitive number of how many of that 250 are still alive. And what should have been a “one-for-one exchange” sees Hamas coming out on top as but three Israeli hostages will be released for 95 Palestinians.
And this same agreement also saw issues regarding who exactly Hamas wanted released from Israeli custody, and also if the Israeli military would remain in the strategic Philadelphi Corridor... Gaza’s border with Egypt. And yes, Israeli will not only remain but will maintain control of said border...the border Hamas used to smuggle Iranian supplied weapons into Gaza which in turn were used to carry out attacks on the Jewish State of Israel.
Simply,
I believe this agreement should not have been agreed to. Benjamin
Netanyahu is trying to save a nation, and in times of war certain
sacrifices must be made to save the multitude over the few, most
especially when it involves Iran's proxy army Hamas who has proven
time and again that ceasefires are but a “buying time”
mechanism to allow for rearming and regrouping. And while I
understand the pressure BiBi is under what with the rightful pleas of
the hostages' families, the fact remains that this is war... a war to
test if the words “Never
Again”
truly do mean
“Never Again.” Case closed.
