Good summary of the day and what’s at stake. The swarms of fighters surrounding the hostages emphasize that Hamas remains in control and that the aid pouring into Gaza during the ceasefire is a gift to them.
I don’t see anyone fulfilling Biden’s promise of a future for Gaza free from Hamas. Trump won’t put US troops at risk and no Arab regime will do the dirty work. That leaves the IDF. More hard fighting lies ahead, six weeks from now or sooner.
Good call on the Dylan piece..:) it’s a horrible deal but one we need desperately to move forward. And, yes. The cost is insanely high. Maybe if the west had some moral fibre it would be different. But here we are. Let’s hope the rest goes smoothly. That we get them all out. And then we’ll see where things are at. No one will rebuild the Strip w Hamas in power. So. Time for Palestinians to male a choice.
Thanks and yes, let's see if there can ever be a change in Palestinian leadership to facilitate this. And the Dylan piece will come later in the week ...

It looks like that David, yes. Thanks for your comments.
