GAZA/TEL AVIV, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Israel’s government and Hamas agreed on Wednesday to a four-day pause in fighting to allow the release of 50 hostages held in Gaza in exchange for 150 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, and the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.
Oh wow, big news! Yay peace!
There will be no peace.
Once Israel recovers the hostages or confirms their death, Gaza becomes a parking lot.
Israel could have made Gaza a parking lot well before any hostages were taken if that’s what they wanted to do.
