UN approves Gaza truce [video]

It feels inadequate to consider anything hopeful without the immediate return of hostages because nobody should trust Netanyahu with an agenda like that. It's practically a blank cheque to atrocity spending, and he's going to write a number and cash it. No sane party should underestimate the problem taking hostages has created.

Didn't they offer 2 hostages back to get the ball rolling and Netanyahu basically said shove it we don't want them we're going in to get them ourselves?

- According to Hamas, I haven't seen any verification about that yet. There's enough bad stuff going on without the need for potential misinformation.
- Meat grinder probability in the red sort of problems. It's not just another day resisting the oppressors.

This is great but how will it be enacted. In response Israel cut all of Gaza's communications and has been bombing all night. I am sick with worry

I also suspect this whole thing is either orchestrated or exasperated to try to draw Iran in
Yeah, we can do all sorts of speculation here. Is the west looking for an excise to teach Iran a lesson? Is Hamas directly connected to Iran? Is it just Iran meddling? Is Russia orchestrating this as a distraction? Is the West looking for an excuse to cut off Iran as an arms supplier to Russia?

History shows this is the only ending, and will end nothing.

Once Israel decides they have done enough to kill Hamas leaders and destroy resources in retribution for the attack, murder, kidnapping of their citizens, they’ll accept the UN truce, and UN/US will bring in aid to Palestinians. Israel will build up the walls, and separation to try to prevent this from happening again, and Mossad will be more active hunting down Hamas. Meanwhile Palestinians will recover, remembering their losses, suffering under increased repression, and the cycle of desperation and violence starts again.

Then to expand the long bloody history of the area, assuming there is proof of Iranian involvement, no one wants a war, but we’ll likely see the odd bit of assassinations and exploding factories or ports

As always, the only winner is the defense industry

I wish. This time, it's more likely Israel will refuse to listen, genocide occurs, war spills over in the region, sides are taken and voilà: WWIII.
To be honest I am too depressed so let's hope your assessment will come to pass.

not really uplifting news to the people who are going to be exploded or have their families exploded regardless of this happening, would be uplifting if the UN could actually stop or slow down the ground invasion in any meaningful way, the atrocities committed in this invasion will be incomprehensible

You're a bigoted genocidal cunt.
You really are awful.
