Israel Has Approved A Deal With Hamas That Will Pause The Fighting For 4 Days In Order To Obtain The Release Of At Least 50 Hostages, But Is It A Trap?

Uncategorized 1

The Israeli government approved a deal Tuesday night that will see the Palestinian Hamas terror group release at least 50 female, child, and elderly hostages over four days, in return for a pause in the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

In a desperate bid to rescue around 50 of the 240 Israeli hostages kidnapped by terror group Hamas, Israel has approved a 4-day ‘pause’ in the fighting, after which time the war would continue. But I’m confused. What happens to the 190 remaining hostages? Is Hamas attempting to buy time with multiple pauses as brackets of hostages are gradually let go? And then what? With all their leverage gone, does Hamas just walk into the proverbial chopper blades as martyrs? To say I am suspicious would be an understatement.

“And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.” Genesis 14:14 (KJB)

Hamas and the Palestinians are not smart people, if they were, the war they would fight with Israel would be an economic one whereby they take control through success and prosperity. That’s what smart people do. But they are crafty and wily, and absolutely not to be ‘misunderestimated’, to quote George W. Bush. Netanyahu was so focused on the ‘sweet deal’ with the Saudis that he stopped paying attention to the border, and 1,200+ people died because of it. So l et me just say that If 50 of those hostages are released to come home to their families, praise the Lord. That’s great. But this whole thing smells like a trap for the Jews, I hope I am wrong about that. Am Yisrael Chai.

Israeli Government Approves Deal: 4-Day Pause for 50 Hostages

FROM BREITBART NEWS: In return, Israel will release a greater number of convicted Palestinians — though none who have been convicted of murder. Israel will resume the fight as soon as the hostages are delivered and the four-day period is over, as it works to destroy Hamas.

The Times of Israel reported:

Hamas has said it has 210 of the about 240 hostages taken from Israel during the October 7 atrocities. Islamic Jihad is said to be holding the remaining hostages.

According to the developing deal, Hamas will release at least 50 Israeli hostages, mainly women and children, in exchange for a ceasefire of four days, the release of between 150 and 300 Palestinian prisoners, and the entry of fuel and other goods into Gaza.

Some 12-13 hostages will be released per day as the ceasefire takes effect, the source says, adding that Israel will release women and minor prisoners, with each returning to the city or town where he lived prior to imprisonment, including the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

In a briefing to reporters Tuesday, Israeli negotiation adviser Moty Cristal said that Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, had likely already decided to die as a martyr when he launched the October 7 attack. That did not mean, however, that he would not use negotiations to achieve other goals in the interim.

Cristal emphasized that the main motivation for Israel in the war was freeing the hostages, even if the stated, equal policy goal was ending Hamas as a military threat in the Gaza Strip. READ MORE
