Two years after Hamas’s brutal attack, Gaza’s guns are silent—and the last hostages are home. Trump is taking a victory lap for “everlasting peace,” but Gaza’s still in ruins, and both sides are holding their breath. This isn’t peace. It’s a pause. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I'm pretty sure Hamas couldn't have done this without prominent though secretive support. Who benefits most? Yes, the evergrifting corrupt grifters, e.g. Netanjahu, the Trump gang, Saudis, Qatar. It's a multi-billion once-in-a-liferime jackpot for those guys

Heard this same shit in a church that we tried out yesterday. (not returning). They prayed for the return of those few people, but none for the thousands that have been killed by Israel. And praising tRump for visiting Israel today. What the actual fuck happened to people's brains?

Trump's making a mistake with this "everlasting peace" line. It's just a hostage to fortune. In the past, as in the Oslo accords, American, Palestinian and Israeli reps worked together to devise something substantial. But even those efforts went down in flames. This ceasefire is good but temporary.

Hoping and praying for peace, but it seems that Netanyahu had to be forced into this, and Hamas is surely not happy. I hope that peace finds a way and that the people of Gaza are treated fairly. They did not do this. They are victims of Hamas as much as the Israelis.

Israeli defense ministers have said when the hostages are returned the bombing will restart. Trump also has not said Gaza will be rebuilt for its citizens. He may rebuild a middle eastern riviera.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all. However, if you read the signers of the peace agreement; almost all the middle eastern leaders signed into the peace agreement wit the exception of one, and it’s a major one, HAMAS

Israel has what it wanted: the hostages. They have no incentive to keep any promises. Just like Trump; he got back into the WH, and has since not just broken every single campaign promise, but worsened the lives of those who elected him. Netanyahu, like Trump, has never honored any treaty.

It is a pause on a high wire in high winds with no net. One tectonic shift and its a disaster worsened. Walking this thing thru beyond a global headline diversion from Epstein is a whole other balancing act for the clod hopper Trump.

As if we didn't know already - Netanyahu and Trump sabotaged peace for their own purposes. The terms Hamas offered waited over a year, so that Trump could win the election and Netanyahu could continue the killings and destruction for 13 more months. www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection...

thetimes.comJoe Biden and Netanyahu were offered Gaza deal a year ago, says negotiatorGershon Baskin says he got the plan on to the president’s desk but then learnt the Israelis were waiting for a change of administration in Washington

Trump aided and abetted Israel's genocide, and its physical obliteration of Gaza. 67,000 Palestinians were slaughtered. Then 20 hostages were returned after 2 years. 75 had been killed in the interim. Pardon us for thinking this wasn't some fucking masterstroke of peace negotiation by Donald Trump.

Precisely. How many times over the past decades has Israel been at war/armed conflict then "peace" for a while then "war" again. Do we know all the details of the agreement yet? Only then can we guess as to how long "peace" might last. Do we know yet how much money tRump is getting out of this deal?

Ridiculous to think that Israel will not continue their racist, apartheid activities - interring children, stealing Palestinian land, policing Palestinians while allowing settlers free reign. It's not peace - it's rewarding Genocide.

Time to admit that the racist, genocidal Israel is evidence that the experiment has failed. A new state, guaranteeing the rights of all, and reparations to all affected since the Naqba in 1948, is the only viable, logical solution. #FreePalastine

How many have forgotten that Biden/Harris had the same similar deal to end the Hamas war BUT Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to wait until the election was over to deal with his bum buddy Trump! He rambles for 2 hours about how great they are, kissing each others butt! WAKE UP AMERICA YOU'RE BEING CONED

Precisely. There were also mediators from Egypt, Turkey and other nations trying to get this done for over a year. They just don’t have the ability to threaten Israel with cutting off aid and military weapons like the US does.

Of course it is just a pause. Its utterly sickening. We all know the Israelis are going to be back for more. Hey, aren't I wonderful, I've temporarily stopped slaughtering you and bombing you to hell. Give me a Nobel Peace Prize. Sure Alfred Nobel, the ant-semite would be thrilled.

So no mention of genocide then, or the brutal decimation of Palestinians and their homeland by Israel that has been ongoing for over 70 years? Because, I don't know, maybe the Israelis look more European or something, while the Palestinians are more brown and Muslim and easier to dehumanise

Biden couldn’t force Bibi’s hand bc Bibi had Trump to fall back on. The most helpful thing Trump had was leverage over Bibi, because without Trump he would be toast. Zero commitment from Hamas to disarm at this point so this is really essentially the same deal that’s been on the table for a year +

I don’t think Trump has any plans to give Gaza back to the Palestinians. Do you? With Jared negotiating I’m sure they’re moving forward with the Gaza Riviera. I doubt the Palestinians will be able to afford their Condos on the beach. Trumps a fraud.

The whole MF world needs to help the Palestinians!! And GOD is NOT smiling at the destruction and abject cruelty of man against man. Israel got 20 hostages back but took the lives of 70,000 innocent people & irreparably destroyed the country. WAR CRIMES FOR NETANYAHU!

Good hostages freed but what I’m hearing from rambling insulting Trump sounds like Gaza carved up w/ perm portions to each member nation of Peace Com. Not sure what happens to Palestine & poor residents but is great MidEast buy/invest deal. Main focus: Peace mbrs will be rich! For elite, $ works.

It was never about “peace”. It was a ceasefire and a hostage exchange to slow chit down. Give time for Netanyahu and Israel to regroup and Palestinians to move back to Gaza as sitting ducks. No way Netanyahu wants to end this war because then they can have elections.

Exactly. 67,000 dead Palestinians. Not sure anyone should be taking a victory lap. Happy for the hostages and their families, but the death and devastation delivered to Gaza should be a much bigger story. If I came home to find my city leveled and so many dead, I’m not sure I be embracing peace

There is a long and difficult path to peace. great that the remaining hostages are back but this is a cease fire (for how long we don’t know) but peace is not yet. Gaza in complete ruins and governing undetermined. two state solution is yet to be agreed upon. There are serious challenges ahead.

I can’t help but feel there is something ominous within the deal making. Kushner involved, etc…what has Trump promised, from the US? What has he given away and what’s in it for him? I hope I’m wrong.

I continue to be disappointed that my fellow Americans can't grasp the workings of a national war of liberation. The examples of Ireland with the IRA and Vietnam with the NVA and Vietcong. October 7th was child's play compared to 1968 Tet offensive. Who ultimately won in Vietnam?

Let him have his victory lap. He's done what Biden never could do because Biden had to keep the KOOK wing to his left happy. This is the one thing that Trump was uniquely positioned for. And it helps too that Russia has bogged itself down in a war that made it lose Syria and virtually any influence

Spot on. It was a grand show for the glory of Trump attended by subservient heads of state. His verbal diarrhea was painful to hear. His praise for himself, his team and family was at times embarrassing. Any guess as to what this grand show cost?

That fat bastard can't wait to start building resorts with his name on them and benevolently pay practically zero in wages to locals for the privilege of working at them. I vehemently hope there is a hell and Shitler roasts in it every day for all eternity.

And after all this destruction, waste, and deaths, the orange moron - US President - is over there at significant gov shut-down taxpayer expense to bask/steal the limelight and at Netanyahu's urging/glorification! Disgusting!

Oh, but don’t you worry, there are some developers who will happily come on in to rebuild & employ those remaining few poor, unfortunate Palestinians. If they don’t want to comply, you know the historical outcome of this philanthropic equation, quite appropriate for today’s original national holiday

It won't last. Netanyahu gave Trump what he needed to claim justification for consideration of the Nobel Peace Prize. But now that Trump didn't get the Nobel, Netanyahu will go back to brutalizing and terrorizing Gazans in the hopes it will keep him out of jail for his domestic, non-war crimes.
