A Ceasefire is a Bad Deal For Israel

They're saying a hostage deal is close. I'm reading that Hamas might release a few hostages at a time if Israel promises to end the war.  What kind of a deal is that? It's more psychological warfare, for one thing.  ALL the hostages must be released at once. You know they'll expect Israel to release thousands of terrorists in return. How is that good for Israel?

How anyone can trust Hamas to do the right thing is beyond me. Biden and Blinken have done the wrong things so far, and I don't trust them to do anything to benefit either Israel or the United States in the last gasp of the Biden Administration. Plus, look at all the deliberate last-minute sabotage Biden's been engaging in to thwart Donald Trump's Presidency, so I wouldn't put it past him to sabotage Israel as well as he's leaving.

So excuse me if I'm not ready to celebrate.
