Peace?

[Zam-Zam]

That is the hope. If this does come to fruition, it would constitute one very major significant accomplishment. There will be haters to be sure, they have no desire for peace, only more bloodlust. Let's hope they are bitterly disappointed.

Time will tell, but for now there is a reason for optimism:

What to know about the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release plan:​

• Israel and Hamas are expected to sign a deal in Egypt on Thursday for what President Trump has heralded as the "first phase" of a ceasefire to end the two-year war in Gaza and to bring home dozens of remaining Israeli hostages from the Palestinian territory.
• President Trump announced the agreement between the two sides on Wednesday evening, saying Hamas had agreed to release all of the remaining Israeli hostages and Israel would withdraw its forces in Gaza to an "agreed upon line."
• Following a vote by the Israeli government on Thursday formally approving the agreement, the deal is expected to be signed in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

Egyptian president says deal brings Mideast hope for a "future defined by justice and stability"​

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said in a statement Thursday that the world was "witnessing a historic moment that embodies the triumph of the will for peace over the logic of war."

Through the dialogue in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, President el-Sisi said an agreement was "reached to establish a ceasefire and end the war in Gaza after two years of suffering and woes, in accordance with the peace plan proposed by President Trump and under the auspices of Egypt, Qatar, and the United States of America."

The Egyptian leader said the deal would "not only close the chapter of war; it also opens the door of hope for the peoples of the region for a future defined by justice and stability."

There will never be Peace as long as the Religion of Peace has power.

Footage from both the streets of Tel Aviv and war-torn Gaza showed crowds of revelers celebrating what they hope will be the end of the two-year war as they hailed Trump for helping secure the deal.
“Donald Trump! Donland Trump,” residents in Gaza could be heard cheering after the news broke Wednesday night.

“Nobel Prize to Trump,” those in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square cheered as they waved American flags and danced.

Most of the people living in that part of the world desire peace. It's Hamas that has done so much to prevent it.

I doubt that Trump is going to receive anything from the far-left Nobel committee other than sneers, but one never knows.

 

[sensible don]

So is it true HAMAS will have to surrender ALL it's weapons for this to happen? Isn't that like step 3 ? Do you trust what is being said by Trump as the REAL TRUTH ?

Yes, it would be good news if it is true. I like your subtle approach, wait and see post - see you even aren't sure are you - just like me.

Already the doom and gloom post for something that hasn't even happened. What would you call that syndrome that MAGA/ YOU have - always the world is against you no matter what - how about a @RickWA ANALysis of your deep problems ? whatsay ricky ?

Peace in the ME is a tricky thing...Jimmy Carter was sure he had pulled it off in 1978...Shortly thereafter Anwar Sadat was assassinated and the whole thing fell apart like a cardboard box in a rainstorm.

I am hopeful that at least the hostages are released - That would be a huge positive.

Keeping a good thought.

Fortunately, they are outnumbered. That's a good thing.

The hostages getting released would be a good thing, hopefully it happens before it falls apart because one leader gets offended by what they serve for lunch or something stupid like that.

Do you have confidence in Jared in his ability to pull this off ?

I believe it has been a major accomplishment to get this far. This administration has done more in less than a year than the previous administration did in four years. That's just a fact.

With that said, there has not been a lasting peace in the Middle East in my lifetime. Part of the reason is that the Mullahs in Iran do not want peace, and they use their resources to finance terror. That's a sad reality.

Hamas has come limping to the table because they are whipped. One o the challenges will be to keep them from obtaining any meaningful power in the region, and that won't be easy. The Palestinian people will be the ones who suffer the most if Hamas gets a foothold in Gaza again - It will be at least in part their responsibility to make sure that doesn't happen.

A lot of challenges ahead. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

This deal has given both sides hope for a lasting peace and gives the Palestinians a chance at self rule. Getting rid of Hamas is definitely a huge part of this process. The next part will be for the Israelis to get rid of Netanyahu and his right wing lackeys.

Before the attack and massacre in Israel, Netanyahu was facing serious corruption charges. Dragging out this destructive war has allowed him and his corrupt minions to remain in power and increase their power in land grabs in the West Bank.

Bibi was attempting to co opt the independent Israeli judiciary in a huge unpopular power grab for him and his right wing party. Prior to the attack two years ago millions of Israeli’s were protesting in the streets against Bibi’s blatant power grab.

Once this ceasefire is executed and the hostages are released, Israel should have an election and decide whether or not they want to have a corrupt power hungry leader like Netanyahu continue his reign or if they really want to create a lasting peace in the region.

The agreement that Carter got Israel and Egypt to sign is still in effect...Egypt has not gone to war with Israel since 1978.

Hope and optimism are growing, but it's important to watch how the ceasefire unfolds, if at all:

https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/drop...ue&r=cqtc&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

• "Over the past 24 hours, 11 dead and 49 injured Palestinians arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip, according to Gaza’s health ministry, while two Palestinians were killed and 13 injured while seeking aid. The total recorded death toll since October 7, 2023 is now 67,194 killed, with 169,890 injured.
• "The Israeli military has continued sporadic attacks in Gaza following the announcement of a ceasefire agreement on Wednesday. The Israeli cabinet is due to convene this afternoon to discuss the deal. Eyad Amawi, a representative of the Gaza Relief Committee and a coordinator for local NGOs, said in a message to Drop Site this morning: 'The situation is calmer than before, though some explosions are still heard due to the continued presence of the army in several parts of the Gaza Strip, posing a real danger.'"

2,000 Palestinians will be released.Many arrested and detained without trial .That would be a huge positive

The people are on the verge of death from starvation and there’s nothing left to bomb. Time for the warmongers to wrap it up, accompanied by their Orwellian request for the Nobel Peace Prize.

You know this can't be good for the Antisemitic Left here in America who also hates Trump.

Figures you'd make it more about giving Trump credit than the hostages and their families. I wonder how the families of the tens of thousands of Gazans killed with American weapons feel about our president.
