The problem faced by Gazans is that history shows any deal struck with Israel will either be broken or put so much pressure on Hamas they will be forced to break the peace. Israel’s broken promises have been documented so many times and Israel and it’s still doing what it has time and again simply lie?
Israeli Ministry has already indicated it’s not going to bother about any ICJ demands or UN requests gimme gimme gimme has been Israel’s theme song for 78 years and it’s not going to stop. As soon as oil becomes unnecessary so will Israel the army base and the $5B in blackmail it receives annually
The only feasible option to free the hostages is to strike another deal with Hamas. But it will be very hard for Netanyahu to accept the terms that Hamas is demanding, particularly ending the war. Netanyahu and his defense minister argue that the more military pressure Hamas is under, the more likely it is to accept a deal on terms that are acceptable to Israel. But the other members of the war cabinet, and growing numbers of Israelis, now believe Israel should make a deal to release the hostages whatever the price, even if that means ending the war without defeating Hamas.
