Hostage Deal Reached with Hamas

The Israeli government approved a hostage deal brokered by Qatar and is set to begin this weekend. Hamas will supposedly release 53 hostages: women, children, and elderly, in exchange for 140 – 300 Terrorists being held in Israeli confinement. They will be released over 4-5 days, during which fuel and supplies will be allowed into Gaza. After that, the Israeli operations to disgorge Hamas from Gaza will continue. The hostage deal comes with backlash, however, by those who fully comprehend the ramifications of negotiating with terrorists.

Part of the new deal is said to be that the Red Cross will visit all 240 of the hostages and provide medical assistance to those who need it. Palestinians convicted of murder will not be included in the hostage deal (Times of Israel), nor will non-Jewish hostages. As the 4 day cease-fire progresses, Hamas is tasked with finding the 30 or so hostages held by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.  The cease-fire can be extended if other hostages are released.  The problem? This agreement puts Israel back where it started – terrorists will be back to foment more bloodshed.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

There are two sides to every situation, and Israelis have marched and begged for Israel to bring the hostages home. Some are aware of the price; others just want their loved ones home.

When Gilad Shalit was kidnapped in 2006, he was not released until 2011. In exchange for his release, Israel agreed to 1,027 terrorists being let out of Israeli prison. One of those people was Yahya Sinwar…the alleged mastermind of the October 7 Hamas attack. The issue of negotiating with pit vipers is on public display for everyone who has engaged in it. They will always bite back. And though is usually costly in the long run, the love of Israelis for their families comes first.

It is unclear how many hostages are still alive, after three bodies of people kidnapped were discovered by the IDF near Shifa hospital. Believing the tall tales of the terrorists is a fool’s errand. Some of the original hostages were desperately injured in the kidnapping process, one even having his arm severed. Believing they were properly cared for by the terrorists is sketchy.

“The Palestinians who will be released in the hostage deal are terrorists who were tried and convicted in court. The Israelis who will be freed are civilians who were ripped from their homes by Hamas terrorists. Don’t for a second believe this is an even swap.” Aviva Klompas, author
