Israel, the United States and Hamas are close to an agreement to free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza, in exchange for the first sustained pause in conflict in Gaza, according to people familiar with its provisions.

    Hamas has said they won’t do that, so has Israel in response.

    I’d expect this to last until Hamas fires another rocket into Israel, at which point Israel will go batshit crazy and start returning fire… again.

    It’s hard to count on lasting peace when you’re dealing with Hamas who’s openly stating they’re just waiting to do another massacre. Hopefully this lasts long enough to get hostages out and aid supplies in though.
