I mean, I know HamASS is scared shitshitless of Trump, but can you really trust them when they claim they will release all the remaining hostages, which include Americans? I don’t.
The response did not, apparently, include an agreement to disarm — a core Israeli and American demand.
However, the prospect of releasing all of the hostages, if real, would create real pressure for a compromise.
It is possible that a deal could be struck on or around the second anniversary of the Hamas terror attack of October 7, 2023, that began the war. That attack also occurred on the last day of the seven days of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles); this year, October 7 again coincides with Sukkot, on the first day.
