So Hamas has agreed to release all the hostages, and it is almost

[lostincalifornia]

certain that trump will not only get credit for it, but the MSM will push that theme to the limit.

The damage that Hamas did with the October 7 massacre to our Democracy, with the help of the protesters and those who refused to vote for Harris, will be with us for decades.

I hope I am wrong, and I could be. Remember the George H Bush invasion of Iraq, the first gulf war? I suspect many thought that a second term for HW bush was inevitable. That didn’t quite work out.

1. Let's see if Bibi abides by any part of the one sided "agreement"

or at least to what degree?

Let’s see how much Hamas slow crawls this.

[lostincalifornia]

2. I don't think Hamas will. They were given a deadline of Sunday

They have no leverage anymore since majority Arab states got behind it.

[Arazi]

3. I wouldn't get your hopes up that will happen

In fact, my presumption is zero hostages are released in the next 72 hours (as demanded) and Bibi just speeds up his ethnic cleansing

[lostincalifornia]

5. It isn't what I hope, it is what Hamas said they would do, and with

The backing of major neighboring Arab countries.

[Arazi]

7. They won't ever agree to disarm

There’s other provisions I’m sure they’ll never agree to either but that one is sure to kill this deal pronto

[SunSeeker]

4. There is no agreement yet. Hamas is playing him. nt

[lostincalifornia]

8. And just how are they doing that? The deadline given was Sunday. What do you

think would happen if the hostages weren’t released?

It also has the backing of major Arab countries.

They know what will happen if they don’t, and since it was Hamas who said it, I suspect it will happen. They have no other cards to play.

20. By agreeing to only the things they've always agreed to. So much for Trump's red line.

Earlier Friday, Trump had said if Hamas hasn’t agreed to the proposal by 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, “all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out.”

https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/politics/trump-hamas-deadline-gaza-deal

Well, Hamas hasn't agreed to the proposal. There is no peace agreement.

We got nothing new. Hamas has always agreed to these parts of our proposals, i.e., releasing the hostages if certain conditions are met. Hamas rejected the parts it always rejects. It refused to disarm/surrender and refused to give up a governing role in Gaza, both key requirements of Netanyahu.

And, Hamas has previously agreed to release the hostages as part of a ceasefire agreement, yet gone back on its word. So any conditional promise by Hamas to release hostages isn't worth much.

Trump is being played by Hamas (they got him to back off his Sunday deadline to accept the deal, with no new deadline) and Netanyahu (who continues to get full monentary & weapons support while clearing out Palestinians from Gaza City). And the MSM is being played by Trump. The MSM continues to be Trump's propaganda stenographer.

21. Thanks for the update, and you are right to include the MSM as being played also, which is no

surprise. trump has been playing most of the MSM for sometime now, and like dominos they have been carrying the water for him.

[Bluestocking]

6. Who cares if Trump gets credit for this

At least this nightmare will be over

[lostincalifornia]

10. Of course you are right, but the damage caused by what happened October 7 to our

democracy will be with us for a long time I suspect.

[QueerDuck]

9. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

[lostincalifornia]

12. I am not counting anything, it is what Hamas said.

[QueerDuck]

15. I understand. It's easy to be hopeful...

But is Hamas to be believed?

[usonian]

11. Hey, Asshole. You may get your Trump Gaza,

BUT

[Xolodno]

13. Hamas may actually release them.

I read today they were fighting with another clan in Gaza. They are in trouble and know it.

And of course Trump will bitch and moan, domestic policy always takes priority over foreign policy. And he's definately screwing that up. People want jobs, food on the table, roof over thier heads and opportunities. Thus far, he's doing the opposite. Putin is still popular in Russia because he knows that if the populace is happy, they'll go along with whatever he wants to do outside of their borders. H. Bush didn't realize that and was easily beat by a no name governor from a small state because he understood this. Droping a ton on money on Argentina isn't going to do you any favors.

Bibi is going to have to make a hard decision, does he allow Hamas to survive quietly and nuetered. Or risk a civil war in Gaza in which the PA will no doubt regain control? He totally miscalculated by making sure the two were in opposition with turning a blind eye to Hamas.

14. To the extent there is any actual "accomplishment where someone deserves credit"

I'm pretty sure it would belong to the Israeli military who relentless bombed and attacked and starved the territory into oblivion, killing 100's of 1000's of people. At this Israel simply are the victors of the war, because Hamas can no longer go on fighting.

Effectively all IQ47 really did is send weapons and tell Bibi that the USA doesn't care what atrocities you want to commit in order to win.

And I'm sure as shit he didn't write a single word of the "deal" himself.

[SSJVegeta]

16. As far as public opinion is concerned I cant imagine this having a lasting impact

Theres far more suffering that is and will occur intentionally because of him that no amount of foreign affairs or ignoring the epstein files could make up for.

[lostincalifornia]

17. One would think so.

[SSJVegeta]

18. As long as our basic institutions stay in tact -to any degree, public opinion will likely

Be proportional -to some degree, with whatever is happening.

[Johnny2X2X]

19. Hope they release them.

But it won’t save anyone in Gaza. Gaza’s fate was sealed almost a year ago.

[Jack Valentino]

22. When I SEE peace, I'll believe it....

but there's a LONG way to go before it is a fact.

Trump deserves credit for FINALLY trying to do something about this,
as well as condemnation for waiting SO FUCKING LONG to do it.

[Vinca]

23. I predict they get the hostages out and then the place is leveled for the golf resort.
