I really hope this agreement doesn’t fall apart because of hostage bodies.
Hamas is saying they can’t get to some of the bodies. That wouldn’t surprise me in the least. Likely some were buried in basements of buildings where they were being held, and eventual those buildings are now just mountains of rubble.
Yet I would also be careful to take them at their word. There’s no way to know if “un-retrievable” bodies are actually hostages that are still alive.
And now it appears that some of the bodies that Hamas already returned weren’t hostages who died.
I think the Arab world needs to work at getting their renegade child under control.
I would say that Palestinian terrorists killing each other instead of someone else is kind of “golden”
I’m willing to give him a chance in Syria. Show and prove. The Israelis should give him some room too I believe and at minimum, speak with him.
It’s unclear exactly who Hamas is killing. They have used the word “collaborators” to describe them.
I read they are fighting with the Dughmush family, a Palestinian crime clan for the most part. Seems like a power grab conflict.
Not sure this constitutes as a “ceasefire”.
Israel’s military said Wednesday that the ceasefire was back on in Gaza after it carried out heavy airstrikes overnight across the Palestinian territory that killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials.
The strikes, the deadliest since the ceasefire began on Oct. 10, marked the most serious challenge to the tenuous truce to date.
And now it’s back on. Now they are done bombing. World peace
A ceasefire of convenience if you will.
The ceasefire is sort of like “serial monogamy”. It holds true until the next time…
Israel retaliated. It’s not like they just started up bombing for no reason. Of course, Hamas will say “Hey, those attacks on Israeli soldiers were not our guys…”
Deep in the most recently linked article we see this:
The Israeli military said in a statement Wednesday that it carried out “precise strikes against dozens of Hamas” targets across the Gaza Strip overnight, including individuals, observation posts, weapons depots, mortar firing positions and tunnels.
Hamas still embeds itself with civilians – including their own children. Whether or not the actual civilian deaths reported by Hamas is true will always be questionable.
Remember how everyone laughed when Trump suggested that Gaza could be a seaside destination spot…
Not so funny now.
In past replies about Palestinian issues, I suggested that the USA should build a whole new UN complex in Jerusalem as our parting payment as we leave the UN.
But since all the buildings have been leveled in Gaza City, maybe we should do it there instead.
If bunches of world leaders are there (instead of in NY or Geneva or wherever) then they would be sure to keep terrorist riff-faff out of there.
I’m sure it still is if you hate Trump. 
Maybe the UN should move its headquarters from NYC to Gaza. That way they will be right there to stop the next war when it (inevitably) starts.
My suggestion that the USA pays for the construction and move is so that it is done as a parting gift for exiting the UN altogether. No more payments to a global organization hostile to USA and our interests.
In return we would take ownership of the existing UN complex in NYC. It’s prime real estate. We could convert it to the highest of high-end condos and recoup some of our cost for building the new one in Gaza (or Jerusalem, which I’ve frequently suggested in the past.)
Of course, as we’ve seen, UN organizations have abetted Hamas. So maybe they would be happy to be in the middle of terrorist operations.
This is my surprised face……. Really!!
Much like a toxic couple, Israel and Hamas jus can’t quit each other.
