We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What do you mean? Ignore the kayfabe anger / hostility with Netanyahu for a minute, and this might be the best deal trumps ever negotiated by his standards ( there's always a winner and a loser in a negotiation- and Netanyahu os a friend, hamas is an enemy)

He got his ally (not the israel- us alliance, the trump- Netanyahu one) exactly what he wanted- all the living hostages, and many of the dead ones, which was one of the main Israeli complaints about the war.

He gave both sides a tough guy act, hamas bought that he was really going to be tough on israel, and gave up their main leverage in exchange for prisoners israel doesnt really care about, and didnt get a peace deal, just a ceasefire, and the begining of negotiations- and they didnt even get a good starting point for those.

The baseline is basicaly gaza surrendering all weapons, disolving hamas, and getting an israeli ally-controlled government/ reconstruction. (All that reconstruction money is going to get eaten up in graft by trump allies) And If they refuse, trump drops the tough on Netanyahu act, blames everything on hamas for refusing to negotiate, peace talks and ceasefire over, and the killing starts again in earnest, now with no fear of hitting Israeli hostages.

Tldr, the anger with bibi was fake- and hamas bought it. They did the half of the deal (hostage swap) without getting any guarantee in return, and now trump will push them until he has 'no choice' but to go back to full throated backing of israel's total war.
