Thoughts on hostage deal:
50+ released hostages: Not enough, but it’s a meaningful number.
4-day pause in fighting: Hamas had years to prep for war plus weeks before current ground assault. 4 days won't change the big picture: Hamas can’t stop the IDF

Risk factors: Terrorists could improve positions, cheat, end deal after 1-2 days. But here's a key point: Main Hamas goal is not to regroup and magically defeat IDF. Hamas hopes to create a dynamic that stops the war entirely. If this fails, Israel wins

X factor: Release of hostages will give Israelis a big moment of joy & refuel anger at what Hamas did. It will also remind the world of Hamas atrocities. It’s a story the media can’t ignore. Bottom line: Not a great deal, but probably better than no deal.

There is no doubt that the coordinates are being supplied to America by Hamas itself, to protect key installations from attack. ALL agencies in the American Federal Government are riddled with Islamists and Islamic supporters (thank you Obama Hussein). Anything coming from America to Israel in regard to the Gaza War is more than likely going to favor Hamas. Any intelligence supplied by Israel to America will go directly to Iran and then to Hamas.

Israel knows this and is acting accordingly.

"OOPS!"   

Only the idiots at Foggy Bottom think Hamas hasn't been using Hospitals as ammo dumps.

Thank you, Mr. Biden, for pointing out to Israel which sites Hamas didn't want hit.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad announces death of a 76-year-old Israeli hostage
By Miles Schachner

The Palestinian group Islamic Jihad announced the death of a 76-year-old Israeli woman taken hostage on Oct. 7 on Tuesday night.

"We previously expressed our willingness to release her for humanitarian reasons, but the enemy was stalling and this led to her death," Al Quds Brigades said on its Telegram channel.

"In light of this announcement, we renew our affirmation of renouncing our responsibility towards our enemy prisoners in light of the barbaric and frenzied bombing of every inch of the Gaza Strip," the spokesman said, according to The Messenger.

According to various reports, the woman was identified as Hanna Katzir from Nir Oz.

Israel reaches tentative hostage, ceasefire deal with Hamas
By Ronny Reyes

Israel and Hamas reached a tentative deal Tuesday to free hostages from Gaza, reports said.

More than a month after kidnapping about 240 people during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, the Palestinian terror group Hamas reportedly agreed to release some of its captives.

In exchange, Israel had been expected to agree to a days-long pause in the war that has devastated the Palestinian enclave. Along with the cease-fire, Israel was reportedly set to release some of its prisoners.

US officials have said they were hoping that Abigail Mor Idan, a 3-year-old American girl whose parents were killed Oct. 7, would be among the children included in the negotiations.

Ahead of the hostage negotiations, Israeli soldiers transferred detained Palestinians on Tuesday out of the Gaza Strip. It is unclear if those transferred might be among the prisoners released in the hostage negotiations.

The reported deal was designed to create the first major pause in the war that has killed more than 1,200 people in the Jewish state and more than a reported 11,500 others in Gaza, an unprecedented loss of life in the decades of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

It would come as a relief to those sheltering in Gaza after Israel began an all-out bombardment and ground assault into the Palestinian enclave, shutting down hospitals and evacuating civilians to the south.

On Monday, injured Palestinians were evacuated from the struggling Indonesian hospital to the Nasser hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis.

The cease-fire deal was likely be coordinated with further evacuations out of north Gaza, which holds several of Hamas’ headquarters, along with more aid trucks to be received by hospitals.

Israel and Hamas reach cease-fire, hostage deal

Israel has agreed Tuesday to a cease-fire and hostage release deal with Hamas that was brokered by Qatari negotiators, the Israeli government has confirmed to Fox News.

"Tonight, the government approved the outline for the first stage of achieving this goal, according to which at least 50 hostages - women and children - will be released for 4 days, during which there will be a lull in the fighting," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement. "The release of every ten additional hostages will result in an additional day of respite."

"The Israeli government, the IDF and the security forces will continue the war in order to return all the hostages, to complete the elimination of Hamas and to ensure that Gaza does not renew any threat to the State of Israel," the statement added.

The agreement comes as Israel and Hamas are in the 47th day of the war, which began on Oct. 7 when Palestinian terrorists launched a surprise attack on southern Israel.

To date, there have been more than 1,200 Israelis reported killed by Hamas, while the Hamas-run Palestinian Ministry of Health is claiming nearly 13,000 civilians have been killed from Israeli military activity in Gaza.

Only 50?  For a four-day pause, they should be releasing 200+.

[mystery-ak]

I predict Hamas will break the cease-fire...I just don't think Hamas has that many hostages that are still alive..hope I am wrong.

[Timber Rattler]

Only 50?  For a four-day pause, they should be releasing 200+.

Yeah, Netanyahu let himself get bargained down from over a 100+ hostages, and plus he has to throw in freeing a number of Hamas criminals too as part of the deal. 

 

[240B]

I have no faith that the Arabs will honor this "cease fire" or release 50 hostages.
Arabs have NEVER abided by any agreement before. What makes anyone think they will this time?
Hamas will just cheat and jerk around the agreement in every way possible and then claim that Israel broke the agreement.
This is what Arabs ALWAYS do, every single time. Because they know the media will support any claim they make no matter how absurd it is.

How many of the 50 will be dead? Hamas will only release dead bodies back to Israel.

[Timber Rattler]

I predict Hamas will break the cease-fire...I just don't think Hamas has that many hostages that are still alive..hope I am wrong.

yeah, you're probably right.  Most have likely been murdered or killed in airstrikes on the tunnels.  My prediction is that less than 20 will actually be turned over.

Pause in fighting could be extended if more hostages located by Hamas - Times of Israel

The Times of Israel also reports that there may be 30 more hostages released and that the pause in fighting could be extended “by a day for each group of 10 more Israeli hostages”:

"Israel believes Hamas could potentially locate some 30 more Israeli mothers and children beyond the initial 50, and that the halt in fighting could be extended by a day for each group of 10 more Israeli hostages who are located and freed, the government official said.

Hamas is claiming it cannot immediately track down around 10 children taken from Israel during the shock October 7 attack.”

[Timber Rattler]

Hamas is already stringing the Israelis along.

The deal cannot be enacted until Thursday to allow time for Israeli judges to review potential legal challenges to the release of prisoners, the New York Times reports, citing Israeli officials.

The government has said in a WhatsApp message announcing the deal:

“The Israeli government is committed to the return of all abductees home,” and:

"Tonight, the government approved the outline for the first stage of achieving this goal, according to which at least 50 abductees — women and children — will be released for 4 days, during which there will be a lull in the fighting. The release of every 10 additional abductees will result in an additional day of respite.”
