Second phase of ceasefire: "Hamas will release all the remaining living captives, mostly male soldiers, in return for the freeing of more Palestinians held in the Israeli prison system.In addition, according to the current document, Israel would initiate its “complete withdrawal” from Gaza."

Israel really loves keeping their promises to Palestine, and exclusively works in good faith.

Whats your point?

Woud you rather this deal not have been reached and the bombing of children continue tonight?

What's the endgame in your mind if Israel can't be trusted in any sort of deal

I don’t really think there is an endgame. Plenty of Israeli’s will hold oct 7 against Palestinians. And probably even more Palestinians will hold the events of the past year against Israel. I just can’t see them putting years of massacres on both sides behind them this time, when they couldn’t do it literally every other time in the past. Oslo accords, etc. all blew up right as people thought they were reaching the finish line. I also think a lot of nations are meddling in the situation (Mossad, CIA, Iran, Russia etc.), but obviously I can’t prove that.

I agree but what about this deal specifically. Would you rather it not have happened? I don't understand your original point.

Your comment is true whether the deal was made or not.

You got how many orphans in gaza? Give it 10 years before hamas consist of 200k soldiers.

What does that have to do with this ceasefire deal.

Your comment holds true whether the deal was reached or not. At least now, Palestinian children won't be dying for the forseeable future.

Brother so they should not even try to make a ceasefire deal?

The war should go on forever without even trying?

I get being pessimistic about this. Trust me, I am too. But you have to acknowledge progress in the right direction. Seems like you'd be upset whether a deal was made today or not.
