The specifics of the agreement has not been fleshed out yet so this would definitely be part of the eventual agreement.
Regardless, it is a completely reasonable demand to get a list of hostages that are being released. And hardly something that is hard to get or should be a roadblocker.
The criticism of everything Israel and complete brushing off of everything Hamas is quite bizarre. No one is criticising Hamas for the hostages being held for more than a year.
For the avoidance of doubt and whether or not i explicitly stayed it in the past or not i don’t think anyone should be held as a hostage by anyone ever. Including those currently held by Hamas.
This was NEVER about October 7 and destroying Hamas… it’s always been about expansion of Israeli territory and now they’ve got a President who has always been ready to break the tradition of US foreign policy in his support of Israel.
The president also sounded an ominous note about the future of the other Palestinian territory, the West Bank.
Trump said he was thinking of endorsing the idea of Israel having sovereignty there and would have an announcement in the next four weeks.
In addition to removing Palestinians from Gaza and sending them to other neighbouring Arab nations and letting America take control of the land.
Yeah, Trump and Netanyahu are thick and thieves and have been plotting together for a long time, that much is obvious.
It was clear from at least last summer that they had made a deal by which Bibi would prolong the war through the election to help Trump get elected.
Then they concoct a total bullshit story about how Trump threatened Bibi so much that he had to end the war against his will. Its amazing that so many journalists and others actually bought this.
And now they want to ethnically cleanse Gaza, turning it into some massive real estate development and probably linking it by rail to the insane Saudi Neom city to create a networked playground for the global elite (IMO, while they have to oppose all this publicly there is a good chance MBS and his cronies are in on these plans because they’re in so deep on Neom), and Israel will also annex the West Bank at the same time.
Posted back in Oct 2023. Would have saved shit ton of lives.
Everyone was on their morality horse, okay with people dying for needless affiliation towards a worthless land.
This is an insane take not only because it’s not Palestinians being expelled from Israel but from the Palestinian Territories…their own land.
I guarantee you don’t have that same energy for yourself and I’m going to have to say I’ve had a sneaking suspicion about your anti-Muslim/Arab sentiment given you live in India.
I don’t think enough has been made of India’s rightward shift.
