There is only one hostage deal that should be made
Once again, we are facing another horrible deal proposal: the release of 10 living hostages in 2 phases, 5 on the first day and 5 on the last following a 70 day ceasefire. This deal proposal is, once again coming from the Americans, as Israel (Netanyahu) has given up its place in making proposals to get our own hostages home.
This deal proposal, as with the past proposals, is a complete disgrace with further and continued abandonment of the hostages. There are an assumed 20 living hostages still in captivity in Gaza. This horrendous deal will see the release of 5 of them on day one and another 5 on the last day. That means that the 5 to be released on day 70 have to endure another 70 days of ultimate hell on earth, and that there are another 10 living hostages who have no time line for their release. The entire idea of phases of releases was Netanyahu’s from the first deal in November 2023, so that he could use any infraction as an excuse for breaching any deal and going back to fighting. That alone is a disgrace and abandonment of the hostages but he doesn’t give a damn because it suits his personal political interests. What happens to the hostages is not even a second thought for him. The Americans are pushing proposals like this because they know that they can’t get Netanyahu to end the war and bring back all the hostages. And they know why as well. People like Witkoff are not stupid. They know Netanyahu’s motives and they know that without them in the picture, Netanyahu will allow all of the hostages to die and rot in Gaza because making deals does not fit his personal strategic plan. So, for Witkoff, saving every single hostage, even in stages is his personal duty because it’s all he can hope for at this time.
While Netanyahu has his people in place (Dermer and Fallach) to prevent any deal that would infringe on his personal strategy, Witkoff and the US administrations (Biden and now Trump) continue to do more for our hostages than our own leaders. Netanyahu removed the key people (Ronen Bar of the Shin Bet and Dede Barnea of the Mossad, as well as others) from the negotiation teams who were pushing to end the war and make the deal to bring home all the hostages in a single deal. That is the sole reason that he changed the make up of the team. He wanted to make sure that, not only would a deal like that never materialize but that even discussions of ending the war would never reach the light of day.
That disgrace will follow Netanyahu for the rest of his life and into the history books to further tarnish his legacy. We will not forget this and we will not let history forget this either.
The only deal that must be made is to end the war and bring home all of our hostages; the living for rehabilitation and the dead for proper burial.
#BRING THEM HOME NOW
“I’ve never met them,
But I miss them.
I’ve never met them,
but I think of them every second.
I’ve never met them,
but they are my family.
BRING THEM HOME NOW!!!”
