The timing of the cease fire was determined by the fall of Assad, not Biden or Trump. Iran can't support Hamas any more, and Hezbollah needs to regroup, and so Hamas is left dangling.

And the fact that Assad was taken out because Russia couldn't prop him up because of their war with Ukraine.
 
Only a few more days to weaken the terrorists in Gaza before they start planning their next attack, starting on Monday.

Doesn't the editor's note to the article you linked contradict your conclusion?

Editor’s Note: This fact check was published Oct. 12, 2023. A week later on Thursday, Oct. 19, an airstrike toppled a wall at the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrios causing serious damage and death.


And honestly, what is the difference between Amash losing relatives to an Israeli airstrike that hit the church versus an Israeli airstrike that hit a building in the church compound? Sounds like a distinction without a difference.

True. That was a later strike. That damage, according to IDF, was unintentional and the result of an IDF strike of an adjacent building, which was being used as a Hamas command post, but the church is apparently still functional, which would mean it wasn't THE target.

To Amash, that difference is probably irrelevant.

What's more disturbing is that terrorists continue to put civilians in harms way by using civilian buildings and shelters for military posts.

Yes.

The photo in an earlier post looks like Dresden in WW2.

Israel has been targeting civilians for decades.

Why do you believe Israel is targeting civilians and not just targeting terrorists who are using civilians for protection?

I mentioned here that the numbers, even if you assume thousands more believed to be dead but missing, don't seem to reflect Israel targeting civilians. Given Israel's available weapons, combined with the population density of Gaza, Israel could have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians by now, if that was their intention.

Everyone knew trump would try to take credit.
But the time stamp on this deal is still under Biden’s admin watch.
Deal came through Qatar.
Some research may expose who was at the table with Qatar and the two sides.
Team trump or Biden’s admin working on this thing for forever?
But I doubt Elon and JD have spent time there since November. Also, if trump brokered this deal, he would have insisted it not be announced until after Jan 20. So I’m assigning credit to Biden admin.
Well done.

Biden's State Department credited Trump, you dumb fuck.

(imagine Biden having anything to do with it; he doesn't even know where he's at or what day of the week it is half the time.)

The difference is that Biden’s administration gave Trump partial credit, but of course Trump wants to claim sole credit.
 
With the cease fire taking shape, it's become common to mention Trump's threat of "hell to pay" if the hostage aren't released by the time he takes office.

Who was he talking about? Seems unlikely he is going to take action against Gaza/Hamas.
 
Netanyahu also credited Trump for the cease fire agreement. Hamas really had no choice but surrender given the loss of its benefactors sine last spring. Still getting a better deal than they deserve due to our strong desire to free the hostages.
