So Israel has been pressured into a prisoner exchange over a temporary 4 day halt in fighting. They are definitely between a rock and a hard place by hostage families and the world or so it seems.
Hamas is releasing prisoners 12 at a time up to 50 so they say. You can bet they will want more at each release. You can also bet the whining will grow across the world of the Palestinian plight. It's plight that they've brought on themselves by choosing Hamas as their government leaders. If they are suffering it's because of Hamas not Israel.
Israel had walked away from Palestine in hopes they had somehow moved on to better lives. It lasted for a while as they tolerated rocks, suicide attacks, rockets fired their direction. The iron dome was doing the job for the most part. We think this actually lulled Israel to sleep with a false sense of security.
Until Oct 7th, there was a rude awakening to say the least. Peace was never ever gonna happen with Hamas In Charge. Their goal was never a better life for Palestine, their goal has been and will always be the destruction and murder of jews. They are the puppets of Iran's religious zealots nothing more.
The next 4 days is critical. Can Israel fight off the pressure that's sure to come? Can They continue the fight to rid Palestine of Hamas with Biden interference?
Fighting continues in Northern Israel with Hazballa and Yemen hooters who's still firing rockets / missiles into Israel.
