DEFEAT.

This is coolbert:

Hot off the presses. If this be true consider it a SEVERE defeat for the Israeli.

Cease fire, prisoner and hostage swap, and end to hostilities. To the DISADVANTAGE of the Israeli.

"Hamas agreed to Egyptian ceasefire proposal"

"Report: Hamas agreed to Egyptian ceasefire proposal"

From https://www.israelnationalnews.com | Dalit Halevi | May 4, 2024.

"Asharq Al-Awsat [an Arabic international newspaper headquartered in London] claims Israel removed opposition to releasing certain terrorists, US guaranteed full withdrawal from Gaza and an end to the war."

"Al Jazeera has reported that a Qatari delegation left for Cairo to participate in indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas, following reports of progress in the talks for a ceasefire-prisoner swap deal."

"According to Asharq Al-Awsat, Hamas agreed to the deal after Israel removed its opposition to releasing a number of senior terrorists from prison, and following a commitment from the US that it would ensure Israel's full withdrawal from Gaza at the end of the second and last stage of the agreement, as well as the full cessation of the war."

The IRREVOCABLE and COMPLETE obliteration of Hamas, a stated aim of Prime Minister Netanyahu will not be achieved. Hamas will live to fight another day.

Prisoners of the Israeli to include Hamas top leadership and operatives many of whom can be reasonably inferred to have participated in atrocity of 7 October to be released.

From the Israeli perspective NONE of this sounds any good!
