60 day ceasefire not a peace deal, just time to regroup.Quote:

Over the same 60 days Israel will remove all forces from Lebanon. Civilians will be allowed to start returning from next week. It's a permanent ceasefire.Quote:

Afp saying senior Hamas officials are saying they might do similar

A senior #Hamas official told AFP that the group is "ready" for a ceasefire in the #Gaza Strip.
The Hamas official described the cease-fire in Lebanon as "a victory and a huge achievement for the resistance," and said that "Hamas is ready for a cease-fire agreement" as well as a hostage-release deal

Mate it's OK to make a mistake I do it all the time, it's not a competition. You said its a 60 day ceasefire, it's not. Families have started moving into their homes again just now. The Lebanese army has also started moving tanks into the area.Quote:

"Peace deal" lasted well!!!
A few days of "ceasefire" in name only.
Are the Israeli population seeing the same pictures we get to see? If so, then the sight of malnourished refugees and dead children must surely be ringing some bells.
There’s weekly protests in Tel Aviv. Until Netanyahu and his vomit inducing right wing nutters that prop him up are gone then there’s nowt that can be done.Quote:

Not sure when the election is but surely his time is up. But like Sunak but less killing. Dead man walking. (And indicted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity and Genocide).

quite remarkable that the world throw up these aberrations that turn things over and we never seem to learn. The forlorn wish of the generation that suffered immensely in “the Great War” -that it be “the war to end all wars”. Such a suffering and waste. And why?Quote:

i disagree
The phrase "Defending the nation" has been replaced by "Defending Allah", among other changes.
Defending the nation has bugger all to do with Assad so why change it in the first place :rolleyes:, i won't be the only one waiting on things to turn sour and all the early promises dropped, here's hoping all us doubters will be wrong
Qatar, Palestinian and Israeli sources are all saying a deal is close to being concluded today for a ceasefire and hostage swap. Hopefully gets concluded and Netanyahu falls soon post this
I do hope so but I doubt it will stop the Israeli army from doing what they do best and killing a few hundred more people just for the bantz.Quote:

Did the Trump effect play a part? He is certainly taking credit claiming "we did a deal" he did say a few days ago if he was President and the war was still ongoing there would "big problems like nobody had seen before" if no deal was struck.
Can imagine Benjamin Netanyahu was probably thinking no way I want to deal with Trump so let's do a deal!
He can say what he likes but the deal is being done under a Biden presidency.Quote:

This was the point the news was making. The deal was the same one that’s been on the table since May and agreed by Hamas. Biden couldn’t bring Netanyahu to heel. Trump it seems can.Quote:

Also Trump has to act as guarantor of the deal and keep Israel in line.

Just the 71 killed post announcement. I suspect there will be hundreds more who die before any ceasefire takes effect.
Deal could be stalled according to the news this morning. Israel saying Hamas has backtracked on a couple of points.
Although in an interview, a diplomat was saying these last minute tactics are quite common to try and gain some points here and there.
Hopefully doesn’t derail the whole thing
Seemingly its a dispute on the names of prisoners held by the Israelis that Hamas want released. Can’t see the deal failing though.Quote:

First of the hostages released. Hopefully this holds.
Israel now stepping up actions in the West Bank, and with crackpots in the US Govt openly say Yes to Israel having 'biblical rights' to annexing it, what's to stop them.
That’s Gaza ****ed, Lebanon degraded, Syria neutralised, time to move back to the West Bank. Trump will be giving a big thumbs up to Netanyahu to craic on.Quote:

It doesn’t feel like this is the end point the Isrealis were looking for. I think this is a pause and reset not a conclusion.Quote:
