  1. Remember people this would not have been possible without trump.

  2. lol’d at “historic” ceasefire deal. They had a ceasefire deal before all this too. After the 350th one it’s not historic anymore, it’s just an intermission.

  3. Summary: The new deal, hauled over the line with the help of Qatari, US and Egyptian negotiators, involves a phased ceasefire. In the first, 42-day phase, Hamas will release 33 hostages, including children, women – including female soldiers – and over-50s. In exchange, Israel will release 50 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails for every Israeli female soldier released by Hamas and 30 for other hostages.

  5. “Told you Israel can’t defeat Hamas.”- same people who’s been trying to cuff Israel six ways through Sunday while bellyaching.

    If Israel continues it gets accused of genocide. If it stops, it gets accused of being unable to defeat Hamas. Win-win.

  6. Happy that there’s a ceasefire, upset that trump did it

  7. I wonder if Hamas is happy with the war they started, and if they achieved any of their goals.

  8. Not sure how anything that has happened over the past 15 months is going to stop this cycle of bullshit.

    We’ll be back here again in 5-10 years and another generation of Israelis and Palestinians will suffer.

  9. This seems like a pretty bad deal for Israel…The best thing we can say about it, is that maybe there are things that we don’t yet know (that Israeli officials do know), similar to what happened with the Lebanese ceasefire, like the overthrow of Assad, and the complete removal of Iran / Hezbollah from Syria, which happened directly after the Hezbollah / Israel ceasefire, which many Israeli’s similarly did not like. I’m guessing Trump made some big promises to Israel / Netanyahu in exchange for this.

  10. Trump has betrayed Israel – Israel should have been allowed to resettle Gaza and divide it intro 3 control zones with walls and checkpoints between them.

  11. But wasn’t this the war of all wars, the middle east keg that just exploded, the WW3 starter? The 20 year conflict, the no-solution war? Oh wait that was on reddit

  13. Wow! 15 months of utter destruction for a few thousand prisoners! Way to go Hamas!
